What you'll learn
This course introduces web developers to Wijmo, a suite of JavaScript controls for web and mobile applications published by ComponentOne. This course focuses on Wijmo’s client-side only implementation and targets web browsers across all modern devices. It explores the editions of Wijmo (along with its licensing options), how to reference the Wijmo library; how to place, theme, and use Wijmo controls, and how to follow Wijmo best practices, including two-way binding a view model to view using KnockoutJS, and optimizing performance and managing dependencies asynchronously using RequireJS.
