Description
This is a comprehensive course on a technology called Language Integrated Query (LINQ). LINQ is a core part of .NET that 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 LINQ is, how it's implemented and what interfaces it uses
- Main LINQ operators (there are lots of them!)
- Using LINQ to query databases (LINQ to Entities)
- Technologies with LINQ support (e.g., LINQ to XML)
- Parallel LINQ (PLINQ) and how to use it to parallelize your queries
- Extra topics (e.g., LINQ tool support in Rider/ReSharper, using MoreLINQ)
Who this course is for:
- Beginner and experienced .NET/C# developers
- Anyone interested in modern approaches to data query
- Database administrators interested in writing data query C#

I took this class as a refresher before then deep diving into Reactive Extensions, and I have to say that it is very good.
From my standpoint, I believe it is also a very effective LINQ jumpstart course
