    Shields Up! Web Service abstraction with Kendo UI

    AJAX Series Part 2: Moving to the Client – Using jQuery and OData with Third-party Controls

    Part two of the webinar series occurred yesterday and, just like with the first one, I wanted to follow up with a blog post answering all of the questions that came up.
