Thinking in LINQ (Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG)

LINQdraws on principles of functional programming and represents a paradigm shiftfor developers used to an imperative/object oriented programming style. Thinking in LINQ explains the benefits of functionalprogramming built into LINQ, allowing developers to use these techniques writemore efficient and concise data-intensive applications.§§While other books on the subjectmerely scratch the surface in terms of problem solving using LINQ, Thinking in LINQ shows readers how usefunctional programming techniques to solve common every-day problems as well asmore complex problems using LINQ's features. §§LINQ lets you write code that resemblesnatural language and is easier to debug compared to traditional loops and branching statements. Thepurpose of a well written LINQ Query will be immediately evident unlike thelooping construct so commonly used in traditional programming. LINQ operators canbe used in unison to orchestrate a solution for complex real world problems.§§
