WebAPI 1.3 Basics - Your Client JavaScript Controller and Promises

WebApi is IMHO the most important part of ASP.net going forward. In this post I'll explain more about the client side of WebAPI and the helpers that make it easy and efficient to code with.

Pre-Requisites

• Read/Watch Post WebAPI 1.1 and install 2sxc and the basic demo App
• Read/Watch Post Post WebAPI 1.2 explaining the server side controller

In the following 5 minute Video, I'll show you

1. A basic JavaScript code to call the service from the browser
2. Where to put your code which is run when data is returned (since it's an async-call)
3. Explain the basics of Async JavaScript Promises
4. Explain some security features which the client side controller automatically takes care of
