Hello, Craig. I'm not sure what question you're actually asking here, but I'll try to explain what I can.
The tutorials you've read are not actually contradictory in any way. Each of those pieces plays a role in getting the data to the user. The TW middleware is used to insert <script> tags, CSS links, and other related pieces, when the HTML for a page is being generated. The controller method that is called is responsible for generating the specific data that will be loaded into the user's web browser. Frequently, this will be JSON, and have some sort of limitation in place to prevent sending thousands of records. Then there is the actual Javascript running in the browser. It makes the request to get the JSON data, and then does something with the data once it gets there. So, the pieces are complementary, not contradictory. I hope this helps. If it doesn't, please ask, and I'll try to answer. I'm sorry I didn't answer last night, but we had a power failure here. Yes, it sucked.
