Video of Luke Hoban's In-Depth Look at C# 3.0

Last fall in Barcelona, Spain two PM's from the C# team gave talks on key parts of the new LINQ technology found in Visual Studio 2008:

Luke Hoban was the PM who drove the development of LINQ to Objects, and the man who created the now famous implementation of a ray tracer in a single, very long, LINQ query expression. He is now focusing his efforts on F#. By listening to his talk on C# 3.0 features you will get a chance to see a detailed and specific analysis of how LINQ works. Listening to him give this talk marked a turning point in my understanding of LINQ. For the first time I understood how the team folded extension methods and query expressions together to create the marvelously supple and deceptively simple syntax that we know as LINQ.

Luca Bolognese is the Principal Program Manager Lead on the C# team. His talk on LINQ to SQL endows developers with the knowledge necessary to wield the tools that drive data driven application development under C# 3.0. A consummate speaker, Luca skillfully guides his audience through the elements that comprise LINQ to SQL development.
