Real world application: A , B , JSON - Looking up by zip code, show thumbnails on map. 
(This demonstrates a complete application that I had developed.
Behind the scenes there are many steps that are happening:
    A) A SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS)  process reads dealer address information from a customer site via FTP. 
    B) A process runs that checks to see if any new addresses have been added, or modified.  If so, a geocode web service is called, to look up latitude, and longitude.  This is added to a SQL database.
    C) a C# ASP.Net page (JSON above) is created, that returns a JSON object, that returns the requested data.  (JSON is a format that JavaScript can easily understand. XML could be used, but would need to be parse) 
    D) The user viewable web page (A , B above), use this JSON object, along with some internal Javascript code, using the Virtual Earth API, created the web page, with the map data
