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 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 connect to a data source, then retrieve and manage rich data using the Breeze JavaScript library in a JavaScript SPA in Visual Studio 2013.
