    MVVM in WinJS Part 2 – Observable Collections

    As I explained in my last post on MVVM in WinJS, the goal of the MVVM pattern (as well as the Presentation Model pattern) is to create a separation of concerns between the model and the view. This eliminates the need for the model to have knowledge of the view, and leverages data binding techniques to make sure the state of the model is always accurately represented by the view. The next step in implementing the MVVM pattern is Observable Collections. Just as important as having individual items being Observable by the View for changes are collections that will notify the View when items are added or deleted. Fortunately, Microsoft has made this extremely simple with the WinJS.Binding.List.

    Get Started: Creating My First Working ASP.NET AJAX RadControls Application

    My name is Jeffrey T. Fritz, and I am a developer who has been working with Asp.Net since the 1.0 days of 2002. I’ve built web applications of all sizes for all form factors, and included localization features in those applications. As an experienced developer, I’m also a rookie with Telerik’s ASP.Net AJAX controls. To assist other who might be in a similar situation, I’m going to write a series of posts here that share my experiences in getting started with the ASP.Net AJAX controls. I’ve primarily used the default controls that Microsoft distributes with Visual Studio, and thought to myself that using these controls would be a similar experience. Please understand, I’m a developer who starts coding first, and reads product documentation later. You should see how I assemble IKEA furniture...
