Linq's the Word

Many thanks to all those who came out on Thursday to play with the latest Linq CTP at the East Bay.NET User's Group in Pleasanton! Here's the link to all the presentation code.

The presentation went really well and the samples sparked a lot of discussion and interest with the group who had never seen language integrated query. Most of the attendees were very excited and anxious for it to release, as am I.

Linq changes the way you think about solving problems in your code. That coupled with Visual Basic's dynamic interfaces and XML literals you definately have the most flexible language I have ever seen. Read here for an overview of these features coming in the next version.
