LINQ Articles and More from the VB Team
In case you haven't seen them, Scott Wisniewski and Kit George both have articles in MSDN Magazine. Kit's in the June issue with co-writer Ting Liang, and Scott is in the August issue. Kit talks about the basics of writing LINQ queries in Visual Basic and it's a really good introductory article to LINQ expressions and how they work. Scott follows it up with a deeper dive into LINQ talking about query comprehensions and expression trees. We're also featuring these on the Visual Basic Developer Center.
