LINQ, Language INtegrated Query, is a new extension to the Visual Basic
and C# programming languages designed to simplify data queries and
database interaction. It addreses O/R mapping issues by making query
operations like SQL statements part of the programming language. It also
offers built-in support for querying in-memory collections like arrays
or lists, XML, DataSets, and relational databases. LINQ in Action is a
fast-paced, comprehensive tutorial for professional developers. This
book explores what can be done with LINQ, shows how it works in an
application, and addresses the emerging best practices. It presents the
general purpose query facilities offered by LINQ in the upcoming C# 3.0
and VB.NET 9.0 languages. A running example introduces basic LINQ
concepts. You'll then learn to query unstructured data using LINQ to XML
and relational data with LINQ to SQL. Finally, you'll see how to extend
LINQ for custom applications. LINQ in Action will guide you along as you
explore this new world of lambda expressions, query operators, and
expression trees. As well, you'll explore the new features of C# 3.0,
VB.NET 9.0. The book is very practical, anchoring each new idea with
running code. Whether you want to use LINQ to query objects, XML
documents, or relational databases, you will find all the information
you need to get started But LINQ in Action does not stop at the basic
code. This book also shows you how LINQ can be used for advanced
processing of data, including coverage of LINQ's extensibility, which
allows querying more data sources than those supported by default. All
code samples are built on a concrete business case. The running example,
LinqBooks, is a personal book cataloging system that shows you how to
create LINQ applications with Visual Studio 2008.
