This is a very quick video showing the work I've been doing with Nemerle, ASP.NET routing and VB 9 XML literals.
I'm trying to find the most efficient way to create RESTful web applications. I'm willing to use all the tools in the box and even make my own to achieve this.

My latest screencast is online: Mobile Model in MVP web app

This screencast continues from the work I demonstrated in a previous screencast: http://channel9.msdn.com/Showpost.aspx?postid=344711
When implemented a Model-View-Presenter pattern client-side in JavaScript there is a need to get data from the server. Rather than make this divide explicit with HTTP request, etc, I have used the idea of a model object that moves between the client and server.
So the programmer simply writes the client and server pieces of functionality and lets my framework do the plumbing.
I use code generation and Script# to make writing a client-side web app much more seemless than the usual javascript/XML/JSON/web service madness.
I'm developing the ideas shown here in a project at the moment. If there is sufficient interest I may extract a framework to give to the community.
How do people feel about this approach to web development? What kinds of additions/modifications should be made?
p.s. I have a bit of a cold at the moment, so sorry for the croaky voice in the recording!

Check out my latest screencast over at Channel 9. It demonstrates how to implement a model-view-presenter architecture that runs client-side in a web browser. I am using Script# to compile a C# project into JavaScript.

I recorded a screencast explaining my tier splitting tool for C#. It uses a Model-View-Presenter style application to demonstrate the features of the tool.

Check out the video (wmv format, 14.8 MB)

I'd love to get some feedback from people...
