At the San Francisco stop of the .NET Rocks! Visual Studio 2012 Road Trip, Carl and Richard sat down with Ward Bell in the GitHub offices to talk about his experiences creating breeze.js. Breeze.js focuses on the plumbing needed to make Single Page Applications (SPA) on the web work well. Ward talks about key pieces of Breeze including caching, validation, automated object mapping and more. He admits his inspiration is Silverlight and how it handled this plumbing so well. Now it's available in Javascript as well!

Ward Bell is Vice President of Technology at IdeaBlade where he is responsible for the product direction of the DevForce .NET application framework, a product targeting smart client development. That product extends the ADO.NET Entity Framework with n-tier, client caching, and Silverlight support. Ward misspent much of the last 30 years programming line-of-business applications for numerous companies including several of the Fortune 100. He dispenses unsolicited advice on his blog, Never In Doubt.
