Building Rich Internet Apps with the Open Data Protoco

摘要

At PDC09 the Microsoft WCF Data Services team (formerly known as the ADO.NET Data Services team) first unveiled OData, the Open Data Protocol. The announcement was in a keynote on the second day of the conference, but that wasn't where OData started. People familiar with ADO.NET Data Services have been using OData as the data transfer protocol for resource-based applications since ADO.NET Data Services became available in the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. In this article, I'll explain how developers of Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) can use OData, and I'll also show the benefits of doing so.
