MSDN events - more about LINQ, Silverlight and WCF
Did you attend one my events in August to September 2007 and want more information about the topics covered? Here you go. I'll be updating this entry as I get questions from developers who attend my fall events. Happy studying and productive coding!
LINQ
Webcast - Daniel Moth - language features on Channel9 - basics of how .NET language supports language-integrating query
ScottGu's Blog Series on ASP.NET and LINQ - multipart series on how to implement LINQ in ASP.NET, make sure to read the comments and Scott's answers
ScottGu's T-SQL visualizer - download and use it
101 LINQ Code Samples Here - comprehensive list of every LINQ expression
Performance comparisons - for different types of LINQ, i.e. XLINQ, DLINQ, etc..
Luca webcast - LINQ designer - hear the 'why' from the guy who led the design efforts for LINQ
Detailed explanation - including change tracking behavior, which features of databases are supported, type conversion chart, etc... - great, thorough MSDN article - READ THIS before you start coding in LINQ!
