If we go for AngularJS and auto-generated Services, we could actually
create a more generic storage proxy that can wrap the services, so we can
provide a cached result for whatever endpoint we want.. we could even more
it smarter, and only have a certain number of items in the cache etc,
another discussion point maybe.

We should also have a brief discussion about jQuery.. AngularJS already
provides a lot of the same functionality (through jqLite I believe), but it
might be worth using $.* instead of angular $http etc.. if we want to have
less dependency on ajs.

An example would be to auto-generate classes that talk to the web-api
(using $.ajax), and then expose them through angular.service (so they can
be used both with and without ajs), this will require more work probably..
