Get comprehensive guidance for using the Microsoft Language Integrated Query (LINQ) Project with in-depth insights from two experienced developers. Data-rich applications can be difficult to create because of the tremendous differences between query languages used to access data and programming languages commonly used to write applications. This practical guide covers the intricacies of LINQ, a set of extensions to the Visual C# and Visual Basic programming languages. Instead of traversing different language syntaxes required for accessing data from relational and hierarchical data sources, developers will learn how to write queries natively in Visual C# or Visual Basic helping reduce complexity and boost productivity. Written by two experienced developers with strong ties to developer teams at Microsoft, this book describes the LINQ architecture and classes, details the new language features in both C# and Visual Basic, and provides code samples in both languages.
Key Book Benefits:
Delivers an in-depth guidance for using LINQ
Covers architecture, syntax, and classes, illustrating how developers can integrate LINQ into their toolkits
Features code samples in Visual C# and Visual Basic

No, thanks:
It seems a book writed by teachers that want theirs students knowledge-far from themselfs. No suggestion. No tips and tricks. And often, they write complex phrases to say simple thinks. Keep away
A very useful book:
I started playing with LINQ three years ago, after the first public CTP. I'm fascinated about this fantastic technology for many reasons.
It's a pleasure for me reading this book... I found in it many aspects that I really don't know so well. It's well written, clear and complete. Its pragmatic approach reveals authors skills about LINQ. I surely recommend this book for "beginners" and also for "experienced users".
Great book!:
I bought this book to understand how to use the new data object model "LINQ" for my certification plan. I think that the authors have done a great job with this book! The book starts with an introduction about LINQ and its use in .NET that helped me to understand the potential. Finally, I recommend the book to everyone has to upgrade his skill!
God Job!:
I finally understood when and why use LINQ.
Our developers started to work with LINQ and we going to concretize our work also thanks this book.
