GeekFest #2 - Web API Proxies with WebApiProxy

In this second installment of GeekFest we explore a little project called WebApiProxy I've been working on that allows us to create WCF-like proxies for ASP.NET Web API in JavaScript and C#

Introducing WebApiProxy: Providing JavaScript & C# proxies with Intellisense including documentation for ASP.NET Web API

WebApiProxy extends your ASP.NET Web API service with a proxy endpoint, providing a ready-to-use JavaScript client as well as metadata, exposing the types used in the service. If you are using the documentation provider from ASP.NET Web API Help Pages, the usage documentation is also included inside the metadata, giving the client-side developer a rich experience with Intellisense.

This release has been updated and includes much more great features. Read more on the update here.

It allows you to build and test your app in no time for immediate publishing to the Windows Phone Store and share it with others. The great thing about this is that it generates the source code for you, enabling you to do more advanced modifications using Visual Studio. Oh and did I mention it compiles totally native code?
