Introduction
It has been three years and I??™m still trying to get the word ??????grok??™??™ into everyone??™s mainstream vocabulary
(see the introductions to my last two books), and one of the things that I am ??????grokking??™??™ is the new LINQ
technology coming out of the Microsoft campus.
Microsoft is touting LINQ as a ??????groundbreaking innovation??™??™ that promises to ??????revolutionize the way
developers work with data.??™??™ Like you, I was somewhat skeptical about these promises because similar
comments have been funneled our way in the past, but these bold declarations would cause even the
casual developer to stop and take notice.
