The Service Builder is a design-time environment that provides experienced and less experienced developers alike with an easy-to-use set of tools for creating OData services. Since the Service Builder visualizes all development artifacts needed to create a service and supports the entire development life cycle of a service.

Getting Started with the Service Builder describes step-by-step process about how to create a new service based on an existing data model, how to edit the properties of this data model, generate the service, and consume the data it exposes. The Service Builder can be used by all developers regardless of experience.

If you are an experienced developer and favor the maximum flexibility enabled by a more programmatic-based approach, see Creating OData Channel Content. This cookbook describes how to get started with OData Channel development quickly with a simple programmatic approach.
