oData Roadshow Coming to NYC Wednesday May 12, 2010

New York is a busy town, it’s so hard to keep up with what’s going on.  Hot on the heels of this morning’s announcement of the June Firestarter events, I have some late breaking news to share with you! 

Douglas Purdy (@douglasp) and Jonathan Carter (@lostintangent) are doing an oData Roadshow in 7 cities around the world.  Their first stop is coming right here to New York City this Wednesday, May 12, 2010!

Details from the odata.org website…

Join us for the OData Roadshow and learn how to implement Web APIs using the Open Data Protocol. This event will include depth presentations and hands-on time for you to explore ideas on building an API for your web application.

An important part of the OData Roadshow, will be the afternoon hacking sessions, where you'll have a chance to work OData into your own projects on whatever platform you choose. Bring your laptop, ready to experiment with your ideas and pound out some code.
