OData: There's a Feed for That
Pablo Castro in Lagoon L on Tuesday at 11:30 AM
There is no shortage of valuable data being generated by applications, reports, tools, websites, etc. Unfortunately, this leaves many of us wishing we could programmatically access the data and logic behind an app, report or website. To break down data silos and increase the shared value of data and its asscoiated business logic through the web, Microsoft has recently announced the Open Data Protocol which enable exposing any data source as a web-friendly data feed. Join this session to understand what the Open Data Protocol (OData) is and how it adds end user and developer value to many of Microsoft's leading products and services (such as SharePoint Server 2010, Microsoft Codename "Dallas", Windows Azure, SQL Server Reporting Services, SQL Server PowerPivot for Excel, Visual Studio, .NET, Silverlight, AJAX etc.) and is accessible from a range of platforms such as Java and PHP.

Incarnate: Behind the Scenes
Karsten Januszewski in Lagoon B on Tuesday at 12:05 PM
A recent MIX Online lab, Incarnate is a service that finds your avatars around the web, so you don't have to upload a new one every time you join a service or leave a comment. Behind the scenes, Incarnate is a service hosted in Windows Azure with a WordPress plug-in. In this session, we dive into some of the more interesting aspects of Incarnate, including how microformats are used to discover avatars, the diagnostics and logging support in Azure, writing a JSON-P service in Windows Communication Foundation and writing the WordPress plug-in.

Microsoft Project Code Name "Dallas": Data For Your Apps
Moe Khosravy in Breakers L on Tuesday at 1:30 PM
“Dallas” enables developers to consume premium commercial and public domain data to power consumer and business apps on any platform or device. Do you need mapping or government data? These datasets and many, many, many more are all available through “Dallas” with a simple and consistent REST-based APIs, simple terms of use, and a simple consumption-based billing model. In this session, you will see how “Dallas” removes the friction for accessing common datasets by enabling you to visually discover, explore, and purchase data of virtually any data type (images, real-time web services, databases, blobs, etc) provided by trusted partners from a single marketplace. We will use a variety of Dallas datasets to develop web and mobile applications using technologies such as Silverlight 4, ASP.NET MVC, and Windows Phone.
