All the dynamic content to this website is delivered through web services, which was new to me. Till now, I was used to using XML and LoadVars methods. After experiencing how web services works, I'm keen to use it again. Its a bit easier and faster making the requests and the same as playing with XML with the response. From a back-end and front-end development perspective, it allowed working parallel faster and more efficient.
