There are really a whole bunch of great resources out there that help the community get up & running with LINQ. Personally, with all the additional providers that I've seen (Qak Leaf List) - several of which I see great use for - LINQ to SharePoint and LINQ to LDAP / LINQ for AD. In regards to tools, LINQ Pad is the tool that allows you to ...

Here's a tool that completely slipped by me.  I've been using ApexSQL for generation of SQL scripts for creating schema and data. Turns out, during the Visual Studio 2008 installation I see "SQL Publishing Wizard" pop up on the list. This tool, can extract schema and data and create a SQL script.

Here's a cool tool that provides an interactive LINQ environment that you can use to develop queries against LINQ sources (SQL, Objects, XML, etc.).

This is great, cross platform too.  ...

So many times I've shown up on projects and client sites, take a quick look at the code, then see how vulnerable a site is with injection attacks.  In NYC there's a system in place run by the Government that has this vulnerability to ...

I didn't really think of the connection until I read this post from the Oak Leaf folks... http://oakleafblog.blogspot.com/2007/04/linq-featured-in-redmond-developer-news.html dBase, then Clipper (from Nantucket) was my first development environment on the PC.  That was quite sometime ago. Ashton Tate was a huge presence in the market and ...

Here, in the continued foray into LINQ and the 3.5 (Orca's) release, is an implementation of LINQ over NHibernate. http://ayende.com/Blog/archive/2007/03/16/Linq-for-NHibernate.aspx Oren Eini provides a starting point, if not a great example of how LINQ can be expanded to work with data represented in different forms.  Hosted up on ...

It seems the LINQ guys have done a great job of optimization inside of the LINQ namespace (System.Linq). http://blogs.msdn.com/jomo_fisher/archive/2007/03/28/fast-switching-with-linq.aspx If you take a look at this post, then subsequent comments and a response from the author, you'll see that the System.Query.Func dynamic delegate done in ...
