LINQ is the project name for a set of extensions to the .NET
Framework that provide a generic approach to querying data from
different data sources. LINQ will premier in Visual Studio 2008,
and will become the next musthave skill for .NET developers. For
more information about LINQ, you can check out the author's portal
at www.LINQdev.com.
Pro LINQ: Language Integrated Query in C# 2008 is all about
code.
Literally, this book starts with code and ends with code. In
most books, the author shows the simplest example demonstrating how
to use a method, but they so rarely show how to use the more
complex prototypes. Pro LINQ: Language Integrated Query in C# 2008
is different. Demonstrating the overwhelming majority of LINQ
operators and protoypes, it is a veritable treasury of LINQ
examples.
Rather than obscure the relevant LINQ principles in code
examples by focusing on a demonstration application you have no
interest in writing, Pro LINQ: Language Integrated Query in C# 2008
cuts right to the chase of each LINQ operator, method, or class.
However, where complexity is necessary to truly demonstrate an
issue, the examples are right there in the thick of it. For
example, code samples demonstrating how to handle concurrency
conflicts actually create concurrency conflicts so you can step
through the code and see them unfold.
Most books tell you about the simple stuff, while few books warn
you of the pitfalls. Where Pro LINQ: Language Integrated Query in
C# 2008 returns your investment is in the hours, and sometimes
days, spent by the author determining why something may not work as
expected. Sometimes this results in an innocent looking paragraph
that may take you a minute to read and understand, but took days to
research and explain.
Face it, most technical books while informative, are dull. LINQ
need not be dull. Written with a sense of humor, Pro LINQ: Language
Integrated Query in C# 2008 will attempt to entertain you on your
journey through the wonderland of LINQ and C# 2008. What you'll
learn How to leverage all the LINQ-relevant C# 2008 language
features including extension methods, lambda expressions, anonymous
data types, and partial methods. How to use LINQ to Objects to
query inmemory data collections such as arrays, ArrayLists, and
Lists to retrieve the data you want. Why some queries are deferred,
how a deferred query can bite you, and how you can make deferred
queries work for you. How to use LINQ to XML to revolutionize your
creation, manipulation, and searching of XML data. How to query
DataSets with LINQ to DataSet so you can coexist with legacy code
and use LINQ to query databases other than SQL Server. How to query
Databases with LINQ to SQL, write your own entity classes, and
understand how to handle concurrency conflicts. Who this book is
for
This book is written for the proficient C# developer, but you do
not need to be up on all the latest C# features to understand the
material.
