Impressions on jQuery Mobile
Apr 1210For the uninitiated, jQuery Mobile is a sweet little client framework that turns regular HTML into something more touch and mobile friendly. It results in a user interface that has bigger targets, rounded corners and simple skinning capability.

Implementing an Authorization Attribute for WCF Web API

In some ways, it’s similar to ASP.NET MVC as it was developed with testability and extensibility in mind. There are some concepts that are similar to ASP.NET MVC, but with a twist. For example, where ASP.NET MVC has fi...
