Overview/Description
A JavaScript single page application, or SPA, uses a combination of JavaScript libraries and web development frameworks to communicate with the server, consume and manage data, and to display application views on screen. A SPA serves up a single HTML page in which all of the application views are rendered on the client, and data that is retrieved from the server can be cached and efficiently managed on the client. In this course, you will learn how to compose new modules, use RequireJS for module dependency injection at run-time, and handle app lifecycle events in Visual Studio 2013.
