LINQ to the Enterprise

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).
