Title: Practical LINQ

Synopsis: By now, you've probably heard about Language Integrated Query (LINQ) and want to start using it? Instead of focusing on obscure language features, In this session, we will focus on ways you can use LINQ in your current applications. Whether your data is stored in a database, housed in XML structures, or represented with in-memory objects, LINQ reduces the time and effort needed to manipulate this data.
