Data Platform Virtual Labs

An important aspect of application development is accessing data stored outside the program, and very often in databases.

Microsoft has created a family of data access technologies to help programmers build simple and efficient programs to access their data, regardless of data source or type. We are committed to providing the best platform possible for developing data-aware applications and services.
