Our intent is to provide a forum for developers to learn about and discuss the various components of a production quality ASP.NET application.



Tuesday, May 27, 2008 (CST) - An Introduction to LINQ and Integrated Querying
speaker: Rob Vettor

6PM - 9PM
Microsoft
{Speaker's notes provided}



While most enterprise applications are object-oriented, the data upon which they depend is not.  Today, binding these two platforms together results in a significant amount of lost productivity as well as a less than optimal solution. 
Come and take a detailed look at the “LINQ Project “ to see what Microsoft is doing to help bridge the mismatch between OO and data.  As we examine the following areas:


• How LINQ manifests a move from an imperative to a declarative style of programming.
• Adding language and framework extensions to provide a single, unified approach to querying data.
• Examples of querying data from multiple data domains:  In-memory, database, ADO.NET constructs and XML documents.
• A look at Microsoft upcoming Entity Framework.
• How LINQ fits into a multi-tiered application.


Be prepared for a solid overview with lots of code examples.
