Announcing: The 31 Days of OData Blog Series

My friend and Microsoft Developer Evangelist Jeff Blankenburg has done 3 “31 days” blog extravaganzas (Silverlight, Windows Phone and now Windows Phone Mango). After talking to Jeff, I think I am crazy enough to do one of these blog series myself and will be doing the 31 Days of OData in December. Each blog post will cover a topic in the OData protocol. I will not be covering the implementation of OData using a specific technology like WCF Data Services. These blog post will cover only the protocol itself and I hope to shed new light on the protocol for technologists in the community.
Wish me luck! (Maybe in January April 2012 I will do another 31 Days and cover Producing and Consuming OData topics.)
