jQuery Ajax call to .NET web service

Service must be decorated with System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService attribute. $.ajax client side method may have contentType property set to "application/json; charset=utf-8" and dataType property set to "json." Then iterate through response objects with response.d.

COM: Pointers to Interfaces Required

A client must have an interface pointer to invoke methods in that interface.

UML - Association versus Aggregation versus Composition

The good article at http://aviadezra.blogspot.com/2009/05/uml-association-aggregation-composition.html (found when trying to remember the meaning of UML association notations in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Domain_model.png) discusses these, indicating the unique features of each:

Aggregation - denotes non-exclusivity.

Association - includes "weak" associations

Composition - denotes dependency (exclusivity)

There's a fourth, association that was not mentioned: Dependency (denoted by dashed arrow), which denotes weak association. Therefore, as far as I can tell, composition associations, in general, can be represented by either of Aggregation, Dependency, or Composition UML notation.

So, where is association notation useful? Many-to-many relationships and mutually navigable relationships.

Yield keyword

I learned about the C# Yield keyword at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7L9seU_mak&feature=player_embedded

Also learned about IEnumerable at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.collections.ienumerable.aspx

Motivation for IEnumerable to simplify looping.
