In this video, you'll learn about how the OData Server module can enable OData access to content in Drupal repositories. Doug Mahugh talks to Alessandro Catorcini (Principal Group Program Manager, Microsoft Open Technologies, Inc.) about how OData can open up Drupal sites to access from a wide variety of devices, services, and applications, including the growing OData consumer ecosystem. Then Patrick Wilson of R2 Integrated, the developer of the OData Server module, demonstrates how easy it is to set up the module for access to the nodes, bundles, and properties in a Drupal site.

The OData Server module uses the OData Producer Library for PHP, an open source library from MS Open Tech, to expose Drupal entities. For more information about open source OData libraries from MS Open Tech, see the blog post Open Source OData Tools for MySQL and PHP Developers.

Drupal on IIS with SQL Server Drupal 7 provides great support for SQL Server as a backend and there are a lot of reasons why you'll like this combination. This webcast starts by showing you how to install a Drupal 7 web site with a SQL Server Express backend in a few clicks with WebPi and then discusses how to create and manage databases, logins and users using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and the command line (SQLCMD).

A successful database deployment requires a proper backup policy and scheduled management. The final part of the webcast will show you how to create scripts to automate scheduled backups to a local storage or remote network share using the free SQL Server Express edition and related tools, including proper transaction log management and maintenance scripts.

All the instructions to generate the scripts on your own are available here. You can also download your free copy of Windows Server trial edition and run it on your favorite virtualization software, on Windows, Mac or Linux.

PHP and FastCGI Performance Optimization PHP is a first class citizen on IIS. A lot has been done in order to make sure that PHP can work well and fast on Windows. We will start by installing PHP with PHP Manager and discussing all the options including what thread safe vs non thread safe and VC6 vs VC9 means. Next we'll take a look at how to optimize the FastCGI IIS extension that Microsoft and Zend developed to provide a secure and performant environment for PHP applications.

The last part of this webcast will show how to build PHP with Profile Guided Optimizations (PGO), a technique that can provide a significant performance boost in a wide range of applications.
