Paul Stovell says…

This afternoon I spoke about LINQ at the ADNUG Happens event. I covered:

• How we got to LINQ: IEnumerable, Anonymous Delegates, Generics
• New features that enable LINQ: Extension methods, generic parameter interference, lambda expressions, anonymous types
• What LINQ is
• LINQ flavours:
• LINQ to Objects
• LINQ to XML
• LINQ to SQL
• LINQ to CRM (open source)

The slides and code are on Subversion:

Here are the links from the last slide:

• LINQ project home page
• Scott Gu’s Blog
• Hooked on LINQ wiki
• Charlie Calvert’s Links to LINQ page

I made a number of suggestions during the talk about my opinions on the VB.NET language. Upon receiving death threats from various VB.NET fans in the audience, I wish to apologise for those statements
