Learn .NET's secret sauce for querying collections and databases
What you'll learn:- Create and execute LINQ queries on data sets
- Perform ad hoc data queries on in-memory and external data sources
- Query databases
- Write your own LINQ operators
- Use advanced libraries and approaches for data querying
This is a comprehensive course on a technology called Language Integrated Query(LINQ). LINQis a core part of .NETthat is responsible for helping us iterate through, filter, search, transform and manipulate collections, be it local objects (arrays, lists, etc.)or remote objects (e.g., databases).
This course covers:
- What LINQis, how it's implemented and what interfaces it uses
- Main LINQoperators (there are lots of them!)
- Using LINQto query databases (LINQto Entities)
- Technologies with LINQsupport (e.g., LINQtoXML)
- ParallelLINQ(PLINQ) and how to use it to parallelize your queries
- Extra topics (e.g., LINQtool support in Rider/ReSharper, using MoreLINQ)
