#Improving Perceived Page Performance with ASP.NET Web API and AJAX
Javascript is quickly taking over the world. The line between client and server is becoming increasingly blurred and Microsoft is aboard the bandwagon.

In this session, we will walk through creating a Web Api controller, improve our confidence in working with Javascript and connect the dots between client and server.
