 # Knockout.js MVVM Framework in ASP.NET Core
 
-By [Steve Smith](http://ardalis.com)
+By [Steve Smith](https://ardalis.com/)
 
 Knockout is a popular JavaScript library that simplifies the creation of complex data-based user interfaces. It can be used alone or with other libraries, such as jQuery. Its primary purpose is to bind UI elements to an underlying data model defined as a JavaScript object, such that when changes are made to the UI, the model is updated, and vice versa. Knockout facilitates the use of a Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) pattern in a web application's client-side behavior. The two main concepts one must learn when working with Knockout's MVVM implementation are Observables and Bindings.

 # Introduction to styling applications with Less, Sass, and Font Awesome in ASP.NET Core

-Users of web applications have increasingly high expectations when it comes to style and overall experience. Modern web applications frequently leverage rich tools and frameworks for defining and managing their look and feel in a consistent manner. Frameworks like [Bootstrap](http://getbootstrap.com/) can go a long way toward defining a common set of styles and layout options for web sites. However, most non-trivial sites also benefit from being able to effectively define and maintain styles and cascading style sheet (CSS) files, as well as having easy access to non-image icons that help make the site's interface more intuitive. That's where languages and tools that support [Less](http://lesscss.org/) and [Sass](http://sass-lang.com/), and libraries like [Font Awesome](http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/), come in.
