jQuery Mobile, Backbone, and ASP.NET Web API - A Framework for Making Mobile Web Applications By Troy Miles

Websites designed for smart phones are one of the fastest growing segments of the internet. jQuery Mobile makes it easy to create sites for mobile devices, but it is mostly about UI. It doesn’t address the needs of an enterprise application. Things like how to load data from and persist data to the server, how to tie the JavaScript and HTML together, and minimize the amount of data transmitted. In this session I will show how to combine jQuery Mobile with Backbone.js and a ASP.NET Web API back-end. The end result is a website which is fast, efficient, and easy to enhance and maintain.

There will be a $5.00 donation to cover food and drinks.
