Am I right in saying backbone and knockout do not solve the same problem? I fancy dipping my toes into a javascript framework, and being primarily a .net dev I'm being pushed towards knockout. However backbone seems to be better adopted and more mature. Is knockback the best of both?
Can another provide examples of where one would be superior over the other?
- rjd 14y agoIf you're from .net background you'll (probably) already be familiar with MVVM (Knockout's approach)... its how the Silverlight framework is designed to function (and its no accident that MS got behind Knockout for this reason). Unfortunately I can't comment on backbone as I haven't used beyond tutorials, someone else might be able to assist though.
- flog 14y agoFrom what I've seen of both (and having used Backbone professionally), while backbone has more documentation on the web, the problem is it's a very flexible framework and it doesn't force much upon the developer, which is great. However, it does mean that a lot of tutorials talk in different paradigms. As a .NET guy, I'd go for Knockout. I also like what I'm seeing with Angular.
