WCF Data Services – Making Data Accessible to Everyone
Synopsis:
WCF Data Services completely rewrites the rules when it comes to creating web services. In this session you will hear from a hardcore SOAP fan why the WCF Data Service bits + the OData protocol is a better choice for breaking data silos.
This session will go deeper than just the mechanics of creating a Data Service (we'll do that too). We'll spend time talking about Atom and AtomPub, Projections, Feed Customization, Server Driven Paging, Data vs. Operation Semantics, and the Model Browser. Understanding these features is key to understanding why OData is the future of web services.

Using jQuery to Create Sophisticated User Interfaces
Synopsis:
A few months ago we had a short tutorial on jQuery. At the time I promised to do a longer and more in-depth talk. Since then, the adoption of jQuery has only accelerated.

Whether you are using ASP.NET, PHP, or some other technology, knowledge of jQuery is quickly becoming a required skill.
In this talk we will cover:

- Selecting HTML elements and applying styles, events, and behaviors
- The jQuery UI user interface library

RESTful Data
Synopsis:
REST is an architectural style that allows for a layered, scalable, and cacheable enterprise information system. With ADO.NET Data Services, a database can be surfaced to a service as a REST-style resource collection that is addressable with natural URIs and can be interacted with using the usual HTTP verbs: GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE. This session will describe RESTful Data, the benefits it conveys, and its uses. Then we will set up a data service using an existing database that developers would then access rather than accessing the database directly.
