JsFiddle: a playground for web developers

Today I came across a great website for testing JavaScript. It’s a place where you can test, edit and share code and even debug code from other people.

JsFiddleis a playground for web developers, a tool which may be used in many ways. One can use it as an online editor for snippets build from HTML, CSS and JavaScript. The code can then be shared with others, embedded on a blog, etc. Using this approach, JavaScript developers can very easily isolate bugs. We aim to support all actively developed frameworks – it helps with testing compatibility

Have fun ;-)

Knockout JavaScript

Knockout JavaScript or simply kojs, helps you creating dynamic JavaScript UIs using the Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) pattern.

Don’t ignore this, because it will be a part of ASP.NET MVC4. :)

If you don’t know knockoutjs, you can start the interactive tutorials via
http://learn.knockoutjs.com/
.

<p>Teusje is: <span data-bind="text: someCoolText" /></p>
<p>Insert some cool text: <input data-bind:"value: someCoolText" /></p>
var viewModel = {
someCoolText: ko.observable("Funky")
};

ko.applyBindings(viewModel);

Have fun! ;-)
