Mickey WilliamsThe next version C# includes several new programming features that can dramatically change the way you write your applications. The flagship feature for C# 3.0 is Language Integrated Query (LINQ), which adds relational and XML features to C#. Using LINQ, you can query one or more data sources and consume the results completely in familiar C# syntax. Underlying LINQ are other language features that bring new programming patterns to C#. Lambda expressions enable you to treat functions are first-class citizens, while anonymous classes and variable type inference simplify the usage of temporary classes. Have you ever wanted to add a method to the System.String class? Extension methods make it possible to you to add additional methods to classes without requiring inheritance or access to the original source code. This talk is primarily demo-driven, and will arm you with information that you can use to get started leveraging new C# 3.0 features immediately.
