Last week I introduced a new screencast on another OData Developer tool. It was about how to use LinqPad to query OData service with C#, LINQ & WCF Data Services Client APIs.

The screencast shows how to use LinqPad to connect to and query OData Services using LINQ and WCF Data Services Client APIs. Showing how LinqPad can be useful as a developer tool to test queries against any OData Service.

I case you missed it, you can watch it on ODataPrimer website. You can also download an HD video (~48Mbs). The package contains 2 videos. One of them is the one hosted and it’s a 10 min video. And the other is ~14 min. I had to trim it to fit into youtube. The 14 min video contains additional stuff in case you are interested.

You can also subscribe to ODataPrimer channel on yourtube for future updates and videos.

Hope you’ll enjoy it.

Last week I introduced a screencast talking about OData Visualizer Extension for VS2010 on http://odataprimer.com community.

It’s a How-To video on how to download, install and start working with OData Visualizer Extension for Visual Studio.Net 2010. OData Visualizer is an extension for VS2010 made by Microsoft Data Modeling team

Last month, Friday 23rd April, I had a chance to present at Code Camp Reloaded event hold at Faculty of Engineering Ain Shams University in Cairo.

My presentation was about Exploring Design Patterns. I gave a general introduction about what’s design patterns and why they exist.

In this session I talked about different Design Patterns categories and explored 2 interesting design patterns:

• Decorator as example of structural patterns
• Strategy as example of behavioral patterns.

I also demonstrated the 2 patterns and showed examples from within .Net framework itself where these 2 patters are applied and used.

I uploaded code samples and presentation to my skydrive
