LINQ
Host: Mads Torgersen
Language Integrated Query (LINQ) is a new technology in the Microsoft .NET framework for strongly typed querying of disparate data sources directly from within the programming language. Out of the box, LINQ comes integrated into C# and Visual Basic, and with providers for SQL data, XML and in memory data structures. But LINQ is an open architecture that data sources can plug into, and programming languages can build upon. This track explores the principles of LINQ and some of its concrete manifestations.
