LINQ, Language INtegrated Query, is a new extension to the Visual Basic and C# programming languages designed to simplify data queries and database interaction. It addreses O/R mapping issues by making query operations like SQL statements part of the programming language. Adding to its power, LINQ is extensible and can be used to query various data sources. It offers built-in support for querying in-memory collections like arrays or lists, XML, DataSets, and relational databases. Jim Wooley has been working with .Net since PDC 2000 and has been actively evangelizing LINQ since its annoucement in 2005. He leads the Atlanta VB Study Group and serves as INETA Membership Manager for the Georgia region.
