Develop websites using the Ractive.js template-driven UI library. This book is project-oriented
and simplifies the process of using Ractive.js to create websites or online applications that
are interactive by default. It equips you with a starting toolset to develop future projects
safe in the knowledge that the site operates as expected and is not reliant on bloated
technology typical of other similar frameworks. Beginning Ractive.js takes the view that you
shouldn't always resort to what everyone else uses and that there is indeed a different way
you can achieve the same result. We live in an age where speed and simplicity are of the
essence - this book provides a perfect alternative that challenges the norm. Stop thinking you
must use the same library as everyone else. Give Ractive a try! What You'll Learn Understand
