Happy Birthday Channel 9 !

@Duncanma: Hey Duncan! WIsh I had the time but I was only there in Bellevue, other than the 2 hours at B20. Would have loved to see all you guys again. I miss Channel 9! You guys should build me a studio in Florida so I can start a show here

Hey, what happened to the beach? You should shoot there all the time.

@g6temp: @Dzejms: It's a good question. We now have many ways (which is a good thing) to serve data and pages. I'll give you my 2 cents on this, for what it's worth. If you are already serving pages through MVC (or planning it) you could use that methodology to load the pages and their initial data. Then use the Web API to for gathering data from the client. This gives you a bit of hybrid scenario but it may yield a better user experience.

For example, your View is loaded from a server side model and presented to the user. Then you could use the Web API to gathering data as the user interacts with the view. 

Or you could gather the data on the server and convert it to JSON in the View. Then use Knockout to bind it. After that, all data requests could use the Web API so you don't re-post.

Or if you could just load an HTML page for the Views (with or without MVC) and use a client side Views, using Knockout (or some other library).

There are many variations ... it really depends on your team's skills, experience, and what you want to achieve. 

What! They were recording that ?!?! 

Hi Ross ... there is no reason MVVM (or any pattern) shouldn't be used here. I've got some material I am putting together on this already.

Ian2 - A XAML TV show sounds like a great idea.

@erik_: I was think Papa TV

and yes, I am kidding

@Dan:Thanks !

I just updated the link for the UX Design guide. Should work now!
