PDC is done for another year. We had a great time presenting and chatting everyone. Thanks for all your thoughtful feedback! If you didn't make it to all the data services PDC sessions....

First: Shame on you.

Second: Here is a summary (with links to recordings) of the data services focused sessions at PDC:

RTM or CTP (announced at PDC) technologies:

Developing Applications Using Data Services

See how to use common libraries and tools when building applications using on premises and/or cloud services (Windows Azure services, SQL Data Services, etc).

Programming Windows Azure Tables Using Data Services Client Libraries and Tools

Learn how to use the highly scalable, available and durable Windows Azure table storage service. This session presents a deep dive with demos (using ADO.NET Data Services clients & interaction conventions) showing in detail how to work with cloud storage.

Data Services Framework Futures:

Offline-Enabled Data Services and Desktop Applications : ("Astoria Offline")

Learn how to create offline-capable applications that have a local replica of their data, how to synchronize that replica with an online data service when a network connection becomes available, and how replicas can be used with the ADO.NET Entity Framework.

Stay tuned to this blog for details on an upcoming CTP of "Astoria Offline".
