This is a great article. One challenge I am facing now is both building a RESTful API, along with a UI that uses the API. The biggest question I have is the use of shebangs in urls with the ajaxy app. We must support IE so pushState is out, but shebang just seems like a hack. I think at this point I have no choice but to implement shebang but I wonder if there are any viable alternatives?
