LINQ (Language INtegrated Query) is a new addition to the .NET Framework that Microsoft will be releasing alongside the next version of Visual Studio ("Orcas") in mid-2007. It is set to revolutionize the way that database applications are constructed. Foundations of LINQ in C# is the first book on the subject to provide a complete overview of this important emerging technology. In a fast-paced 250 pages readers are taken through all of LINQ's important features showing how the technology can be put to practical use quickly and simply. The book is written with the working developer in mind - small, bite size chunks of information make it possible to spend short periods of time to understand key principles. By reading this book you will be able to get ahead of the game and be ready when the new technology breaks.
