Data Services Content @ PDC

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:

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.
