Hi,
I am new to SPA and I want to know that whether for my new project should I go for this or not. The confusion is because when I Goggled about it and found that in the MVC 4 RC SPA template is removed because of some compatibilities issues although it was present in the BETA version but on the other hand I also found that the best example of SPA is GMAIL.
So looking on both the points I got confused. Please share some links or articles about SPA elaborating its Pros & Cons. Also please share that how can I use it with MVC 4 RC.

Thanks.

Think of an SPA[^] more like of an old winapi desktop application, but running on web.
The main concept is, that EVERY communication between the client side and the server side is done via ajax calls. MVC is a good platform for that, but there is a wide range of possible implementations. The most inelegant way is to render the html code on server side, and use ajax only to display it and catch events - the other end is to move every presentation layer function to client side, and use DOM to build and handle the GUI.
A template is just a template, but I am not sure, it was removed: http://nuget.org/packages/SinglePageApplication[^]
