The "AJAX Head" Design Pattern Wednesday, July 14, 2010

The "AJAX Head" Design Pattern “e AJAX head design pattern forces the view and controller to work in isolation with the most minimal coupling possible. Kind of like a web service.” “...an implementation pattern that drastically modi es common web client-server interactions in order to bring them more closely in line with enterprise client-server interactions...” Wednesday, July 14, 2010

Data-Interchange... JSON Wednesday, July 14, 2010

Data-Interchange... JSON JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight format. It is easy for humans to read and write. It is easy for machines to parse and generate. JSON is a text format that is completely language independent but uses conventions that are familiar to programmers of the C-family of languages, including C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Perl, Python, and many others.
