LINQ (Language INtegrated Query) is a new addition to the .NET 3.5 Framework that Microsoft will be releasing alongside Visual Studio 2008 (previously codenamed ‘Orcas’) in Fall 2007. It is set to revolutionize the way that database applications are constructed by providing developers with a standard set of queries that they can implement in the same way regardless of the data-source that they are working with. Whether it’s an XML file, a text file, an Oracle database or a SQL database they’re all accessed the same way through the LINQ syntax. This is an enormously powerful new feature that affects almost all users of the .NET Framework. As a result it’s already being eagerly anticipated and generating a huge amount of buzz in the .NET community.
Pro LINQ will be the first book published on the final release version of the software. It will provide a complete overview of this important emerging technology. In a detailed 500 pages readers are taken through all of LINQ’s important features showing how the technology can be put to practical use quickly and simply. By reading this book they will be able to get ahead of the game and be ready when the new technology breaks
