LINQ is Super Cool

Scott Swigart recently talked to Microsoft's VB Program Manager Amanda Silver about progress on the Language Integrated Query project. LINQ brings a SQL-like syntax to VB.NET and C# that may have a profound impact on .NET development. As Amanda puts it, "We're not only changing the way that you program, we're also creating a whole new way to interact with APIs so that they're easily queryable." Microsoft’s Scott Guthrie shares this view of the potential impact of LINQ on .NET: "LINQ is a super cool new technology, and is going to have an absolutely enormous impact on .NET developers and how they use data." Scott has posted some hands-on examples from his talks at TechEd New Zealand and Australia.
