- riffraff 14y agowhile this is an interesting reply, it could be way more interesting if it contained a "because ...." subsentence, could you expand on this?
- hasenj 14y agoAs opposed to Backbone, which doesn't bite you hard? Dude Backbone only works for trivial examples, and even then, and I mean, even with trivial examples, Backbone is almost useless. I haven't yet been bitten by Knockout in any bad way.
- Cthulhu_ 14y ago"Dude Backbone only works for trivial examples, and even then, and I mean, even with trivial examples, Backbone is almost useless." I disagree. Backbone is a structuring framework; if you can't make it work with bigger projects, you're doing it wrong.
- thisone 14y agowhat do you mean by non-trivial? I've abused knockout to some rather interesting ends, but I've never attempted to use it for as an in browser MVC setup. I think of Knockout and Backbone as fulfilling two different purposes.
- Offler 14y agoWe build online trading applications with KO (we use it only for the view, we have our own Presentation Model were we have observers which pretend to be KO observables) and we have found it quite helpful. The components built are FX tiles, trade and order tickets.
