Event Overview
LINQ In-Depth
To
the untrained eye, LINQ may seem like a brand new technology but it has
actually been over 7 years in the making. In this session we will
uncover where LINQ came from and why you need to pay attention to it.
(Anders Hejlsberg is the project sponsor) We will discuss what an ORM
(Object Relational Mapper ) is and why you want to use one. We will
explore the language enhancements that make LINQ possible and then dive
into the fundamentals of the LINQ pipeline and language. We will wrap
up the session by discussing how you should integrate Linq into your
ASP.Net Application ( ie. not in your code behind pages).
