Philly.NET Center City User Group Forming
The Philly.NET community has been very strong, thanks in part to the dedication of Bill Wolff and others who have led that group for the past five years. While always popular, sometimes it can be hard for folks from center city or south Jersey to make the trek out to Malvern, Pa. in the western suburbs.
So now, some great news for folks who work or live in Center City Philadelphia. With Bill's help, and under the leadership of Danilo Diaz, Philly.NET is spreading its wings by starting up a new sister group downtown! The first Center City meeting will take place on February 28th. Here are the details:
Speaker: Mitch Ruebush, MVP
Location: 3701 Market Street, Third Floor Philadelphia, PA 19104
Topic: LINQ
How many times have you wished you had SQL like language for querying your in memory data structures? Microsoft Visual Studio Code Name “Orcas” Language-Integrated Query or LINQ is a new feature of C# 3.0 that supports "a set of features such as lambdas, extension methods, and query comprehensions that enable compilers to understand and implement query logic over in-memory collections of objects." according to the LINQ FAQ. So what does that mean, well basically it is a language that lets you query in memory data structures like collections, XML, etc more easily. I will introduce you to LINQ and then take you on an in depth look at LINQ and its uses in this presentation.
