Defeat Knockout.js in Magento 2
Knockout.js looks like a wall. It is a small set of rules.
You have built a custom theme and laid down the foundational work, but the merchant wants more: a bit of business logic, some interactivity, a form that reacts as the shopper types.
Knockout.js is what Magento uses for that, and it does not work like the JavaScript you already know. Observables, bindings, and view models sit on top of your templates, and the reactivity that makes them useful is also what makes them hard to trace when something goes wrong.
This course builds Knockout.js up from Magento's own components.
Observables and bindings first, then a custom view model, then wiring it into a UI component the way Magento's checkout does. Each lesson ends with an interface that reacts on screen.
This is step four of the essential skills. When you finish, UI Components in Magento 2 is next, because UI Components are Knockout.js wired into Magento's admin and checkout layers. It is also included in the University.
You leave able to build a reactive interface in Magento instead of avoiding one.
