The data source you will use in this tutorial series is called “Northwind”, which is a publicly accessible OData source hosted by http://www.odata.org:
Northwind comes in several versions. The tutorials currently use either V2 (http://services.odata.org/V2/Northwind/Northwind.svc/) or V3 (http://services.odata.org/V3/Northwind/Northwind.svc/). To support both versions, and other versions that may be added later, you will create a generic connection to the Northwind service. The exact path - and exact version - will be configured in later tutorials.
