[Title] Providing APIs Using Management OData IIS Extension [Description] 
Presented by: Craig Martin The API Economy is all the rage, at least when we’re not hearing about how cool PowerShell is. The idea is a replacement for ODBC, LDAP, or any other API, and preference by application developers to use OData and RESTful web services. Should we all get busy writing APIs then? Turns out PowerShell users already have, by writing scripts and modules. This new feature in PowerShell exposes the investment in commands to developers that may not care about about PowerShell, but instead demand to consume an API based on OData. Got a command for getting User objects? well now you can share that as an URL such as http://myServer/User (gets all the user objects) or http://myServer/User(‘Craig’)/Manager (gets Craig’s manager). The magic here is that the developer is reaping all the rewards of your hard PowerShell work, but that developer never needs to know that the URLs are actually powered by, well PowerShell. This talk will share the experience of an IT Pro with scripting experience, learning how to create APIs using the new Management OData IIS Extension.
