Writing applications that interact with data sources, such as databases, XML documents, or Web Services such as Flickr or Amazon, is made easier in the .NET Framework 3.5 with the addition of a set of features collectively referred to as LINQ (Language-Integrated Query).
In what follows, we start with a very brief overview of LINQ, followed by guidelines for designing APIs in relation to LINQ. 1. A Brief Overview of LINQ Quite often, programming requires processing over sets of values.
