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.)

Chris,
In case you were concerned that no one was interested in more than 5 days of oData, I am….
Our team has jumped on the oData bandwagon and we are using it to move data around the federal government.
I’ll put in request to cover the topic of annotations in oData metadata. Specifically field descriptions. In looking around, it looks like this is a developing area so maybe a hint on the direction that we should follow in order to
Thanks,
