It provides a way to break down data silos and increase the shared value of data by creating an ecosystem in which data consumers can interoperate with data producers in a way that is far more powerful than currently possible, enabling more applications to make sense of a broader set of data. Every producer and consumer of data that participates in this ecosystem increases its overall value.</p>  <p>OData is consistent with the way the Web works - it makes a deep commitment to URIs for resource identification and commits to an HTTP-based, uniform interface for interacting with those resources (just like the Web).&#160;&#160; This commitment to core Web principles allows OData to enable a new level of data integration and interoperability across a broad range of clients, servers, services, and tools.</p>  <p>OData is released under the <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/interop/osp/default.mspx">Open Specification Promise</a> to allow anyone to freely interoperate with OData implementations.</p>  <p>In this talk Chris will provide an in depth knowledge to this protocol, how to consume a OData service and finally how to implement an OData service on Windows using the WCF Data Services product.</p>  <p><b>Agenda</b></p>  <ul>   <ul>     <li>Introductions (5 minutes) </li>      <li>Overview of OData (10 minutes) </li>      <li>The OData Protocol (45 hour) </li>      <li>15 minute break </li>      <li>Producing OData Feeds (1 hour) </li>      <li>15 minute break </li>      <li>Consuming OData Feeds (1 hour) </li>   </ul> </ul>  <p><b>Dates, Times and Locations</b></p>  <blockquote>   <p>1. <strong>Chicago, IL June 21</strong></p>    <ul>     <li>a. 8:30 am - 12:00 pm </li>      <li>b.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this version, Clark and Mark sit down with Travis Feirtag and talk multi-touch.&#160; We explore the importance of user experience and what role multi-touch plays in applications today.&#160; Of course we dive into what that means to .NET.&#160; Listen along as we start touching UX.</p>  <h4 align="center">Listen Here –&gt; <a href="https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/DeveloperSmackdown.com/Services/PodcastServices.svc/GetPodcast/ds_025.mp3" target="_blank">Play Now</a></h4>  <p>   <br /></p>  <hr />  <h4>Show Notes</h4>  <p>Who is Travis Feirtag you ask?</p>  <blockquote>   <p>First and foremost, I am a proud father and loving husband for my wonderful family.&#160; My wife, Julie and our four children live in Lake Mills, Wisconsin.&#160; It is unbelievable watching our children grow and learn.&#160; My chest puffs up with pride when I speak of them.&#160; They are the best part of my life. </p>    <p>Secondly, I have been an engineer since I got my first computer when I was ten years old.&#160; It is my second love after my family, of course.&#160; If there is such a thing as destiny then it was fateful that I have become an engineer.&#160; I drive my wife crazy talking about technology.&#160; Of course, if our children love tech as much as their dad then mommy is in trouble :) </p>    <p>I have spent many years working, exploring, making mistakes and learning from them.&#160; In my opinion, it is truly through our mistakes that we gain the most useful experience in life.&#160; I believe that I am open-minded about new technologies but I do not adopt a technology simply because it is new.&#160; I have a considerable amount of experience but there always is so much more to know.&#160; For the last nine years, I have been spending most of my time using .NET technologies.&#160; Microsoft has done their homework when creating the .NET framework.&#160; It is the most cohesive set of development technologies from them to date. </p>    <p>I was on the executive committee of the Wisconsin .NET User Group for 3 years. And was the president of the Madison .NET User Group for two years and I now serve on the Board of Directors, which means that I am involved in the regional and national .NET developer community.&#160; I have been a full-time engineering consultant in the Southern Wisconsin region for over 10 years now. </p> </blockquote>  <p>You can catch Travis and all of his great work at:</p>  <ul>   <li><a href="https://www.devmobiles.com">https://www.devmobiles.com</a> </li>    <li>     <div align="left"><a href="https://www.robotgeek.net">https://www.robotgeek.net</a></div>   </li>    <li>Twitter: <a title="https://twitter.com/therobotgeek" href="https://twitter.com/therobotgeek">https://twitter.com/therobotgeek</a> </li> </ul>  <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touchscreen" target="_blank">Multi-Touch Screen Types</a>:</p>  <ul>   <li>Infrared - <a title="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared</a> </li>    <li>Resistive - <a title="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistive_touchscreen" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistive_touchscreen">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistive_touchscreen</a> </li>    <li>Capacitive - <a title="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitive_sensing" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitive_sensing">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitive_sensing</a> </li> </ul>  <p>Flick Gestures:</p>  <ul>   <li>Flick Gestures Explained - <a title="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms694980%28VS.85%29.aspx" href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms694980%28VS.85%29.aspx">https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms694980%28VS.85%29.aspx</a> </li>    <li>System.Windows.Input - <a title="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms604577%28v=VS.100%29.aspx" href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms604577%28v=VS.100%29.aspx">https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms604577%28v=VS.100%29.aspx</a> </li>    <li>Application Gestures - <a title="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.ink.applicationgesture%28VS.90%29.aspx" href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.ink.applicationgesture%28VS.90%29.aspx">https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.ink.applicationgesture%28VS.90%29.aspx</a> </li>    <li>Simple Gesture Sample - <a title="https://blogs.msdn.com/b/ptorr/archive/2010/03/23/simple-gesture-sample.aspx" href="https://blogs.msdn.com/b/ptorr/archive/2010/03/23/simple-gesture-sample.aspx">https://blogs.msdn.com/b/ptorr/archive/2010/03/23/simple-gesture-sample.aspx</a> </li> </ul>  <p>Windows Touch Pack - <a title="https://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/whats-the-microsoft-touch-pack-for-windows-7" href="https://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/whats-the-microsoft-touch-pack-for-windows-7">https://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/whats-the-microsoft-touch-pack-for-windows-7</a></p>  <p>Looking too start doing development for Windows Phone 7, check out <a href="https://Developer.WindowsPhone.com" target="_blank">https://Developer.WindowsPhone.com</a></p>  <p>Bamboo Tablets - <a title="https://www.wacom.com/index2.php" href="https://www.wacom.com/index2.php">https://www.wacom.com/index2.php</a></p>]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>Bamboozled in the Office</h4>  <p>It's the first show of the new year and decade. Mark and Clark talk about, well, nothing that they planned on. The show gets bamboozled right from the start and the discussion turns toward where most development is done and that's in your office at home. We talk about what went into the design and what makes the office work from two similar but still different points of view.</p>  <h4 align="center"><strong>Listen here –&gt; </strong><a href="https://csell.net/ct.ashx?id=182c0019-860d-4cd5-9aa5-17203597b91c&amp;url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.podtrac.com%2fpts%2fredirect.mp3%2fDeveloperSmackdown.com%2fServices%2fPodcastServices.svc%2fGetPodcast%2fds_016.mp3" target="_blank">Play Now</a><strong></strong></h4>  <h3>-----</h3>  <h4>Show Notes</h4>  <h5>Design thoughts for your home office</h5>  <ul>   <li>Isolation - Use every opportunity to separate your office from the world (insulation, doors, walls, etc.)&#160; It will help you create a space where you can think. </li>    <li>Design the desk - sketch out the space on paper and figure out how much desk you can fit into the space      <ul>       <li>How will you use the desk space - keyboard, mouse, monitors, laptops, writing area.&#160; Space == Goodness </li>        <li>Get those monitors off the desk with monitor support arms.&#160; You gain not only desk space but also flexibility in positioning. </li>     </ul>   </li>    <li>Make sure you have plenty of power.&#160; Don't just plug in a surge protector in a surge protector to get more outlets.&#160; More outlets doesn't equate to more power.&#160; Get an electrician to help if you can. </li>    <li>Same thing goes for networking.&#160; You'll never have enough.&#160; Wireless is great for general internet/network access but if you are going to run servers or push a lot of media (audio/video) around the house then go gigabit!&#160; With that you need Cat5E or Cat6 cabling EVERYWHERE.&#160; The first cable that isn't rated high enough will slow the network down.&#160; Also, plan your network to get the most speed and flexibility - use switches not hubs! </li>    <li>Make sure there's plenty of light </li>    <li>Audio and video - from just listening to your Zune for music and Smackdown podcasts to watching UTube, DVD's or training videos.&#160; Make the space enjoyable. </li>    <li>If you're a book whore like the two of us (Clark is way more than me by the way), plan on lots of shelf and cabinet space.&#160; Cables and boards and DVD drives and mice and keyboards have to go somewhere. </li> </ul>  <h4>Resources:</h4>  <ul>   <li><a href="https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/categories/departments/workspaces">IKEA</a> - Great place for inexpensive but highly effective office furniture </li>    <li><a href="https://www.workspaces.com/">Workspaces.com</a> - More expensive but more customized office solutions </li>    <li>Software KVM's Clark is using and has tested      <ul>       <li><a href="https://www.stardock.com/products/multiplicity/">Multiplicity</a> </li>        <li><a href="https://www.maxivista.com/">MaxiVista</a> </li>        <li><a href="https://www.kavoom.biz/">KaVoom</a> </li>     </ul>   </li>    <li>IOGear - Hardware KVM that Mark is using </li> </ul>  <h4>Tips and Tricks</h4>  <p>Clark's Tip #1 - <a href="https://www.workspaces.com/">Workspaces.com</a> - he recommends them HIGHLY and for good reason.&#160; His &quot;command center&quot; desk is something to envy. </p>  <p>Mark's Tip #1 - <a href="https://www.newegg.com/">NewEgg.com</a> - Great prices for all things technical very quick response.&#160; Awesome place to shop.</p>  <p>Mark's Tip #2 - In Visual Studio, use &quot;Control -&quot; (Ctrl and the minus key) to walk or navigate yourself back from things like &quot;Go To Definition&quot;.&#160; Each time you hit it, it will step you back one jump.</p>  <p>Clark's Tip #2 - In Visual Studio, use &quot;Control .&quot; (Ctrl and period) to resolve references and insert the using statement or the full type qualifiers in your code.</p>]]></content:encoded>
