JavaScript for Line of Business Applications

This article shows how you can use client side JavaScript libraries like AngularJS and KnockoutJS to build SharePoint 2013 WebParts.

In this article, we will learn how to make use of JavaScript libraries to fetch data from SharePoint List and bind that data to some controls using SharePoint Web parts. For this demonstration, we will make use of AngularJS and KnockoutJS JavaScript libraries.

Using these libraries in SharePoint development can make a big difference as we will see shortly. We will use these libraries with SharePoint Web parts using our very favorite tool – Microsoft Visual Studio. I am using Visual Studio 2013 for these demonstrations.
