Don't miss this NWASQL special August presentation

ODATA Where Art Thou?

O'Data, Where Art Thou, stars Microsoft's David Ulysses Walker as the Pater Familias of data developers.

While on a journey seeking great treasure, Dave travels a long and difficult road, fraught with SQL Slammer and missing indexes. He meets DBA's who work for no man, sees a cow on the roof of a data center, and loses an associate who is seduced by MySQL then turned into a frog.

David's adventures yield the most unusual of acquaintances including beasts, outlaws, con-men, and Dennis Berk. Finally, when his hard-drive crashes, David concludes "Damn, we're in a tight spot!"

Join us in August for the complete Odyssey of ODATA!

 
August 11th NWASQL Meeting Speaker

NWATechFest Chairman & Microsoft ADC David Walker will present:

Harnessing the power of OData (The Open Data Protocol)

Why is your data locked into specific formats and applications? This presentation will cover and explore the power of this recently released web protocol, that is under the Open Specification Promise - allowing anyone to freely interoperate with its implementations. How can this empower your data consumers? Your applications? Your enterprise? Attend the August NWASQL meeting and find out!
