Linq to SQL Session @ Developer Academy 2
Linq to SQL Session @ Developer Academy 2
Over the last months I've been using Linq to SQL in Visual Studio 2008 through its various releases. In the next Developers Conference here in Israel - Developer Academy 2, I will be giving a session that's all about Linq to SQL.
Next Generation Relational Data Access with LINQ to SQL
In Visual Studio 2008, Microsoft brings Next Generation Data Access with LINQ to SQL , a part of the LINQ project. LINQ to SQL is designed to integrate relational data and queries easily into applications, without sacrificing high-performance SQL-based approaches. In this session we will deep dive into LINQ to SQL, explore both the features and limitations of the new technology, and see how it can help us face the challenges in the data access area. You'll walk away from this session with many insights about adopting LINQ to SQL in your next generation application.
NOTE: Since LINQ to SQL is built on LINQ, I recommend that you also attend the session: "Discover .NET Language Integrated Query (LINQ) Framework".
This is the current agenda:
