Saturday I gave a presentation for the first time at the Southern California Code Camp on how to use JQuery to perform AJAX operations against a WCF Endpoint. Today I want to review how to create a WCF service that supports JSON and how to properly create

What a wonderful showing yesterday at the SoCal Code Camp in Fullerton for both of my sessions. One thing I definitely learned is making AJAX calls to a WCF service with JQuery is in high demand and 60 minutes does not do it justice! Thanks for all the

So much stuff going on. Last week I did a lot of performance and scaling research and I think that is reflected here. Client-Side Use Ensure to load client scripts on demand - Hey, this is pretty good. If you come to my Front-End performance talks I talk

I am slowly but surely started to really get the hang of this AJAX stuff, especially with the ASP.NET AJAX framework. I have been having an issue with some basic existing JavaScript working with the framework though. Finally I broke down and read the
