- LINQ's key concepts, such as deferred execution, iterator chaining, and type inference in lambda expressions
- The differences between local and interpreted queries
- C# 3.0's query syntax in detail-including multiple generators, joining, grouping, query continuations, and more
- Query syntax versus lambda syntax, and mixed syntax queries
- Composition and projection strategies for complex queries
- All of LINQ's 40-plus query operators
- How to write efficient LINQ to SQL queries
- How to build expression trees from scratch
- All of LINQ to XML's types and their advanced use
LINQ promises to be the locus of a thriving ecosystem for many years to come. This small book gives you a huge head start. "The authors built a tool (LINQPad) that lets you experiment with LINQ interactively in a way that the designers of LINQ themselves don't support, and the tool has all kinds of wonderful features that LINQ, SQL and Regular Expression programmers alike will want to use regularly long after they've read the book." -Chris Sells, Connected Systems Program Manager, Microsoft
