This walkthrough demonstrates how easy it is to extend, share, and integrate SQL Azure data with mobile and heterogeneous applications using other programming platforms via an OData service. The video starts by covering the benefits of using SQL Azure, and then it briefly reviews an existing ASP.NET application that was built to support this series of videos. The video goes on to cover how to enable the application to expose some of the data via an OData service, and finally, it shows how a variety of different client applications, such as an Android phone, can interact with this OData service. The video concludes by referring users to additional resources that offer further support.
