It’s Been a While Well, hello there. Miss me? Well, I’ll just pretend that you did. 😉 The past few months have been quite eventful for myself as well as my company.

I like the approach they’ve taken to get client side data, using JSON, from Web Service method calls. They’ve also built a rich client side framework of utility classes.
