I'm kind of new to web developement.
OK I have a good JavaScript base and did my website in WebForm in 200x (2004?) and again in MVC4, 3 months ago.
That's about it.

Now I spend (only) 5 working day to learn and put together a prototype / demo app using TypeScript and KnockoutJS.
All code together is 160 (.chstml), + 197 + 26 + 182 (.ts) lines of code
(no code in my controller, it's just a demo / show case / prototype)

The UI is nice it has multiple interactive list with properties (their value can be nested) and a preview area below.

5 works days ago I knew nothing of TypeScript and KnockoutJS.


Now I show it to some people and I heard the comment 'there is a learning curve'

They all agree it looks impressive but... hard to implement (as in none of them think they can do it in just 5 days and/or 500 lines)

Disappointing...
Anyway, will see what the project manager, from a user perspective, prefers, I hope she like my demo, she is back from holiday + sick days tomorrow!

And I will work on non confrontational convincing skills as in:
1. doesn't it looks good?
2. I think it's a better proposition for every one to maintain a code which is much shorter and naturally less spaghetti (thank you MVVM) (not too mention faster to develop and with more functionality)


Anyhow, might write a TypeScript / KnockoutJS article soon one the upcoming weekend... Big Grin | :-D
(except I'm in the middle of moving house, busy busy..)
My programming get away... The Blog...
