New to jQuery and loving it so far!

Now you need to get into KnockoutJS[^]. jQuery is nice for manipulating the DOM, but people (ab)use it to do anything and everything. KnockoutJS lets you link your UI elements to JavaScript objects, makes it very rare when you need to manipulate the DOM.

:thumbsup: I'm no expert but really loved getting into KnockoutJS My next project (when I get around to it!) will probably avoid all the ASPX stuff and be KnockoutJS / JQuery using AJAX to grab / put data. If there were enough hours in the day I'd feel an article coming on!

Just curious - why would you prefer Knockout over AnjularJS?

personally, because I never used Angular but have toyed with Knockout - now I've seen the Angular website, that's yet another thing on my ToDo list!

Oh yeah! Knockout is elephanting awesome! MS MVC plus KnockoutJS makes me get excited about web development again.

Knockout does exactly one thing - data binding - and does it really well. I've yet to see that duplicated in any of the larger JS app frameworks.

JQuery is awesome, check out JQueryUI stuff also really nice.

Version 3.0 now available. There is no place like 127.0.0.1jQuery UI is feeling a bit dated. Twitter Bootstrap[^] is the web darling UI framework at the moment.

This is the best looking UI for jQuery I've found thus far: http://www.jeasyui.com/index.php[^] Been using it in a recent project at work with MVC4, so far it's done everything I've asked of it. The datagrid control is a doddle to use and the documentation is not bad, enough to get you going. The only fix I've had to apply to it is when I integrated a reset stylesheet into the web app, I had to explicitly set vertical alignment on table cells in my own CSS file. Not a problem really. I find the jQuery UI themes a big let down to be honest.

I always wanted to do a bunch of stuff in Javascript and just never knew how, jQuery I thank you! KNOCKOUTJS is next on my list based on the thread, think I might as well just try it now

That looks awefully Outlook 2007-ish. :-) Twitter Bootstrap[^] is where it's at.

Me too! I have been on a mission to spend an hour or so each day learning something new. I started a jQuery tutorial a few days ago. I have only scratched the surface, but so far, am in awe of how awesome it is! I just downloaded tableSorter.js and tried it...simply amazing, and to think there are so many more libraries available!

I've been doing MVC + KnockoutJS for the last few years. I really, really love it.

We don't make trendy apps, we need stuff like datagrids, treeviews, windows and form validation. Looks ok though. At least we're using a UI toolkit these days. Some of the stuff I've gotten rid of over the last year would make your eyes bleed. ASP.net GridViews so wide they don't even fit on both my screens with a mix of old school Html attributes and CSS for styling. To be honest I can't believe we ever sold any copies of the applications with them looking that bad, but someone paid for them. We must either have salespeople with crazy coercion skills, or they have some dirt on the customer. It certainly wasn't the user experience, look and feel that convinced them to buy.
