Product Description |
Get comprehensive guidance for using the Microsoft Language Integrated Query (LINQ) Project with in-depth insights from two experienced developers. Data-rich applications can be difficult to create because of the tremendous differences between query languages used to access data and programming languages commonly used to write applications. This practical guide covers the intricacies of LINQ, a set of extensions to the Visual C# and Visual Basic programming languages. Instead of traversing different language syntaxes required for accessing data from relational and hierarchical data sources, developers will learn how to write queries natively in Visual C# or Visual Basic helping reduce complexity and boost productivity. Written by two experienced developers with strong ties to developer teams at Microsoft, this book describes the LINQ architecture and classes, details the new language features in both C# and Visual Basic, and provides code samples in both languages.
Key Book Benefits:
Delivers an in-depth guidance for using LINQ
Covers architecture, syntax, and classes, illustrating how developers can integrate LINQ into their toolkits
Features code samples in Visual C# and Visual Basic |

No, thanks |
|
It seems a book writed by teachers that want theirs students knowledge-far from themselfs. No suggestion. No tips and tricks. And often, they write complex phrases to say simple thinks. Keep away |

A very useful book |
I started playing with LINQ three years ago, after the first public CTP. I'm fascinated about this fantastic technology for many reasons.
It's a pleasure for me reading this book... I found in it many aspects that I really don't know so well. It's well written, clear and complete. Its pragmatic approach reveals authors skills about LINQ.
I surely recommend this book for "beginners" and also for "experienced users". |

Great book! |
I bought this book to understand how to use the new data object model "LINQ" for my certification plan. I think that the authors have done a great job with this book!
The book starts with an introduction about LINQ and its use in .NET that helped me to understand the potential.
Finally, I recommend the book to everyone has to upgrade his skill! |

God Job! |
I finally understood when and why use LINQ.
Our developers started to work with LINQ and we going to concretize our work also thanks this book. |

Complete Book |
As an owner of the previous book "Introducing Linq" -written by the same authors- that really helped me to enter in the Linq world, I was pretty curious about this new book and now that I read I can absolutely recommend.
After an exhaustive introduction about what is Linq and about its fundamentals, the book covers in detail the several Linq flavours (and not only the more common ones, but also the union between Linq and Asp.net, Wcf, Wpf/Silverlight, etc.). One of the best point in my opinion is that it tries to explain that Linq is not only "Linq to Database" and especially Linq2Sql but, above all, a new manner of writing code to manipulate data (from objects collections, to relational data, to xml nodes, etc...)
The Part IV of the book is maybe one of the more interesting. You don't find on the net many examples on how to write a custom Linq Provider: the ch. 12 with a pratical scenario (a Flight search service) shows you how to make and, in my case, if it is too complicated or worthwhile for you :-)
I loved the ch.13 about Parallel Linq (the GHZ rush is ended and asap we dev should seriously think to take advantage of multicore processors); but my favorite chapter is the 15th (Linq in a Multitier Solution) because since the first beta my doubts were where to "put" Linq (as a Dal replacement ? called from Biz Layer ? returning IQueryable or IEnuberable ?). This chapter doesn't suggest a DEFINITIVE solution (because it doesn't exists.. it depends from a lot of situations) but really helps you to make your idea more clear.
As I told I can only recommend this book either for the "Linq Beginners", or for more skilled ones. |
