Ready to take advantage of Linq with C# 3.0? This guide has the detail you need to grasp Microsoft's new querying technology, and concise explanations to help you learn it quickly. And once you begin to apply Linq, the book serves as an on-the-job reference when you need immediate reminders. All the examples in the Linq Pocket Reference are preloaded into Linqpad, the highly praised utility that lets you work with Linq interactively. Created by the authors and free to download, Linqpad will not only help you learn Linq, it will have you thinking in Linq. This reference explains: 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

LINQ Pocket Reference: Learn and Implement LINQ for .NET Applications (Pocket Reference (O'Reilly))

This is a concise yet thorough reference to C# 3.0 programming as implemented in Microsoft's Visual Studio 2008. C# 3.0 in a Nutshell gets right to the point, covering the essentials of language syntax and usage as well as the parts of the .NET base class libraries you need to build working applications. But unlike earlier editions, this book is now organized entirely around concepts and use cases, providing greater depth and readability. C# 3.0 introduces the most significant enhancements yet to the programming language, and C# 3.0 in a Nutshell delves deep into the subject while assuming minimal prior knowledge of C#-making it accessible to anyone with a reasonable background in programming. In addition to the language, the book covers the .NET CLR and the core Framework assemblies, along with the unified querying syntax called Language Integrated Query (LINQ), which bridges the traditional divide between programs and their data sources. Free of clutter and long introductions, this book provides a map of C# 3.0 knowledge in a succinct and unified style:
<ul>
<li>Opening chapters concentrate purely on C#, starting with the basics of syntax, types and variables, and finishing with advanced topics such as unsafe code and preprocessor directives</li>
 <li>Later chapters cover the core .NET 3.5 Framework, including such topics as LINQ, XML, collections, I/O and networking, memory management, reflection, attributes, security, threading, application domains and native interoperability</li>
 
</ul>Designed as a handbook for daily use, C# 3.0 in a Nutshell is an ideal companion to any of the vast array of books that focus on an applied technology such as WPF, ASP.NET, or WCF. The areas of the language and .NET Framework that such books omit, this one covers in detail.
