"Charlie and Dinesh bring important skills to this project that enable
them to show how LINQ works and the practical ways you can use it in
your daily development process".From the Foreword by Anders
HejlsbergLINQ is one of Microsoft.s most exciting, powerful new
development technologies. Essential LINQ is the first LINQ book written
by leading members of Microsoft.s LINQ and C# teams. Writing for
architects, developers, and development managers, these Microsoft
insiders share their intimate understanding of LINQ, revealing new
patterns and best practices for getting the most out of it.Calvert and
Kulkarni begin by clearly explaining how LINQ resolves the long-time
"impedance mismatch" between object-oriented code and relational
databases" Next, they show how LINQ integrates querying into C# as a
.first-class citizen." Using realistic code examples, they show how LINQ
provides a strongly typed, IntelliSense-aware technology for working
with data from any source, including SQL databases, XML files, and
generic data structures.Calvert and Kulkarni carefully explain LINQ.s
transformative, composable, and declarative capabilities. By fully
illuminating these three concepts, the authors allow developers to
discover LINQ.s full power. In addition to covering core concepts and
hands-on LINQ development in C# with LINQ to Objects, LINQ to XML, LINQ
to SQL, and LINQ to Entities, they also present advanced topics and new
LINQ implementations developed by the LINQ community.
