jQuery and WCF Data Services (OData) - Perfect Together
- David Hoerster

You've created web sites and spruced them up with jQuery to improve your user experience. You've played around with WCF Data Services to create lists of data from your server. But what happens when you bring the two of them together. It's like peanut butter and jelly; peas and carrots; well, you get the idea. This talk will describe how to connect your jQuery-based web application with your OData data service. If time permits, we'll also look at binding your OData feed to interesting jQuery plug-ins like jqGrid.

David Hoerster, a C# MVP, is a recovering corporate financial analyst and has been working with the Microsoft .NET Framework since the early 1.0 betas. He is the co-founder of BrainCredits (www.braincredits.com), a recent start-up that is hoping to change the way people learn on the web. David is the co-chair of the Pittsburgh .NET User's Group (PGHDOTNET), organizer of several recent Pittsburgh Code Camps and is also an occasional speaker at Pittsburgh and regional user group and code camp events.

Abstract:

the name alone instills loathing and dread into the hearts of developers. The language, which is neither Java nor script, used to be safely confined to the browser, as a tool of last resort.
Then something happened: like a horror film, JavaScript started appear everywhere -- even on the server!
Despite numerous attempts to crush the language, it has grown and thrived. Love or hate it, JavaScript is a fact of life for developers in the 2010s.
This presentation is about one die-hard Silverlight/C# developer's savage journey into the heart of JavaScript and how he came to realize: it's not that bad after all.

Bio:

Frank La Vigne has been hooked on software development since he was 12 when he got his own Commodore 64 computer. Frank now works for Microsoft as a Public Sector Developer Evangelist.
