	LINQ - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		LINQ is a word-based card game from Endless Games, introduced at the American International Toy Fair in 2005.
		The goal is to gain points by correctly naming the players with the word cards (the "linq") while preventing others from doing the same.
		Players take turns giving one-word clues, giving the "linq" a chance to identify one another while the others try to bluff and confuse them.

	Lung Information Needs Questionnaire (LINQ)
		The LINQ measures two types of information need in patients who have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): (a) the patient expresses a need for information, and (b) the patient indicates a behaviour for which there is evidence that this behaviour compromises self-management.
		The primary purpose of the LINQ is as a pre-interview assessment.
		Karen Hanney was immensely helpful during the development of the LINQ: she had a major role in the administration of the project including patient recruitment, she attended all focus groups, and was responsible for data input.

	LINQ: wonderful or not?
		One of the concept that in these days I've tryed to understand is certainly LINQ (one of the coolest news that comes out from the last PDC) and this post comes after lots of time from the LINQ announce because I always need times to think...
		The DAL (Data Access Layer) is a must to have on this type of applications and certainly I think that LINQ cannot be used to write queries that works directly with the database embedded on your classes.
		Certainly I've a lot to understand about it, but I think that LINQ is not an "embedded stored procedure" that have to work directly with a database...

	Visual Basic and LINQ \| Lambda the Ultimate
		If you look closely at the new features introduced to C# and Visual Basic in the context of LINQ, you will recognize many familiar concepts that are regularly discussed on LTU ranging from monads, to meta-programming, lambda expressions, XML programming, to the relationship between static and dynamic typing.
		The LINQ project consists of a base pattern of query operators (compare to the monad primitives) such as Select (map), SelectMany (concatMap), Where (filter), OrderBy (sort), and GroupBy (groupBy) on top of which Visual Basic and C# define query comprehensions (compare to monad comprehensions) that facilitate querying objects, relational data and XML.
		LINQ is a language design approach, so I am not sure I understand why you find that to be less on topic for LtU.

	Anders Hejlsberg - LINQ
		LINQ stands for Language INtegrated Query and in a nutshell, it makes query and set operations, like SQL statements first class citizens in.NET languages like C# and VB.
		Now all anyone has to do is implement an LINQ Object Provider (LOP) around their data and Bingo, instant user query access.
		The C# syntax clumps all the LINQ syntax at the beginning and leaves the XML cruft for the end.

	Enjoy Every Sandwich : First Impressions of LINQ (the .NET Integrated Query Framework)
		LINQ doesn't mean you shouldn't you shouldn't spend time learning and really understanding T-SQL, XQuery and XPath.
		LINQ is a Microsoft-specific generic query technology where as XQuery is a vendor and platform neutral query language over XML.
		However, LINQ is the first step towards an obvious end: A single query description and processing framework integrated at a very low level.

	Q&A: Microsoft to Simplify and Speed the Development of Data-Rich Applications by Extending the .NET Framework to ...
		Using LINQ, developers will be able to write queries natively in C# or Visual Basic without having to use other languages, such as Structured Query Language (SQL) or XQuery, a query language for accessing XML data.
		Then, based on these specifications, Project LINQ includes a set of language extensions to C# and Visual Basic and a set of libraries that provides integrated querying for objects, databases and XML data using native language syntax.
		Not only will LINQ make life easier for developers by not requiring them to write as much code, but it will also let them do so much more because coding against data is suddenly so much easier.

	Paul Mooney : The LINQ Project
		In fact, as part of LINQ, we're introducing a new API called (DLINQ ?) that gives you Language Integrated Query for relational data and allows you to map tables and databases onto classes and objects in C# and VB.

	Delphi Compiler Core (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		LINQ is a combination of language syntax and.NET framework infrastructure to support SQL-like query capabilities within high-level programming languages, operating on data in the programming languages' domain.
		LINQ is clearly “next generation,” a child of “what could you do if you had a really good generics implementation under the hood” thinking.
		LINQ's infrastructure is heavily dependent upon generic types and new things similar to or built upon anonymous methods.

	theTechSage : Microsoft Finds The Missing "LINQ" to Data Access
		The project, codenamed LINQ (Language INtegrated Query), allows data query statements to be run inline with code rather than the current method of using several.NET Framework objects to retrieve data and process it.
		Especially exciting is that developers can download the C# LINQ Tech Preview or the Visual Basic LINQ Tech Preview which includes the necessary compilers to begin exploring LINQ immediately.
		LINQ seems like way more firepower than what your average system admin would need.

	LINQ and IDENTITY fields
		I was preparing a writeup on how LINQ handles IDENTITY fields, and there is some mixed news on this front.
		I believe it may be due to my mixed use of retrieving a customer from the DB using LINQ, and then creating Order and OrderDetail objects locally and adding them to the Customer object.
		In some ways, the reason I'm digging LINQ so much is that it reminds me of MIDAS (not on a feature by feature level, per se, but more on an "Ah, this speaks to me" level).

	.Net creator sees developer future with LINQ \| InfoWorld \| News \| 2005-09-14 \| By Elizabeth Montalbano, IDG News Service
		With a new technology called.Net Language Integrated Query, or LINQ, introduced by Microsoft at its Professional Developers Conference (PDC) Tuesday, he said the software giant has taken another step forward toward solving a common problem for developers: how to integrate various sources of data into applications built with object-oriented programming models.
		LINQ is Microsoft's early attempt at bridging the gap between data and object-oriented programming, Hejlsberg said.
		Eventually, as LINQ becomes more fully developed, it will support all languages used for writing applications on.Net, Hejlsberg said."The dream is to create a single programming model for objects, relational data and XML," he said.

	Let me say it again: Linq==cool
		For the people who misunderstood me in my last posting: I really like Linq as a general purpose system to offer a single interface for accessing enumerable data structures.
		My point in my previous posting wasn't to rant about Linq, as I truly like it, my point was that the video gave me the idea as if they believed they had invented something like O/R mapping, an OO overview of your relational model and a compile-time checked query system.
		I only hope Linq isn't compromised to make DLinq work better, but kept as generic as it is now, so 3rd party vendors can actually use it as our next-gen query language, which is a big benefit for our customers/users.

	CoDe Magazine - Article: LINQ
		The LINQ Project is a set of language extensions to C# and Visual Basic and a unified programming model that extends the.NET Framework to offer integrated querying for objects, databases, and XML.
		LINQ is made up of a set of core query operators that can be applied to any.NET array or collection of objects, effectively providing SQL-like capabilities for in-memory data.
		These capabilities are available to any language that implements the core requirements of LINQ - currently we are showing implementations in Visual Basic and C#.

	Re: Anders Hejlsberg - LINQ
		When you query a database via LINQ, the query expression that you construct in C# is translated into the corresponding SQL query and executed against the database.
		What DLinq does is translate a LINQ query into a SQL statement, send it to the database and convert the results back into strongly typed objects for you.
		As an astute C9'er pointed out earlier, you can even imagine implementations of the LINQ pattern for Active Directory or WinFS where you can reuse the same syntax (from, where, select) without having to understand each domain.

	LINQ Panel: Whadya wanna Know?
		I love that LINQ will allow the developer to use relation and XML data easily in the.NET universe.
		Also, relationships in such scenarios are not defined by an object model or hierarchy, how can these be described more concisely in the query (where's the JOIN statement).
		My reasoning would be that say I have a LINQ query that I can't get to work they way I want and I go to my neighbor and ask for help...

		In case you haven't heard, LINQ (Language Integrated Queries) is one of Microsoft's project codename for adding a range of features to C# and Visual Basic to allow programmers to write "language-integrated query, set, and transform operations".
		Furthermore, you don't actually have to use LINQ as such (which is only in preview) - F# is already a great alternative environment for exploring the concepts that underpin the LINQ paradigm.
		The LINQ January Technology Preview bits extend Visual Basic 2005's capabilities by adding enhanced XML integration in both the language itself and the IDE (Integrated Development Environment), provides some code editor features for the LINQ syntax, and enables DLinq for Visual Basic 2005.

	Introducing LINQ!
		Throughout this week and beyond, we’re going to be doing a lot of talking about Project LINQ, so I wanted to start with a relatively brief overview of what the project is, what its goals are, and how they apply to VB.
		To start with, LINQ stands for “Language Integrated QUery.” LINQ fundamentally is about integrating query operations into the.NET platform in a comprehensive and open manner.
		As you can see, the LINQ project is extremely ambitious and this blog entry has just scratched the surface.
