LINQ Pocket Reference: Learn and Implement LINQ for .NET Applications (Pocket Reference (O'Reilly))

It is a one of my favorite LINQ reference books. A good book to have on your desk when writing LINQ.

Lo estoy empezando a leer y me está resolviendo bastantes dudas que tenía con la sintaxis y el funcionamiento real de Linq, los operadores y las expresiones lambda. Quizás en un poco pequeño, de dimensiones muy reducidas así como el paginado, para el precio del libro, pero ya se sabe que este tipo de ediciones técnicas suele ser muy caras.

First off, ONE of the major things Microsoft dropped the ball on was it's omission of LINQ in later version of .Net. That and now they're being a bit foolish by eliminating DirectX.As a former government employee, where resources are surprisingly sparse (I am STILL owed a great deal of money by the same organization Snowden used to work for), finding a GREAT way to come up to speed with LINQ was imperative, and the documentation usually sucked or was few and far between.O"Reilly is my ole faithful - providing GREAT resources at minimal costs, and they delivered magnificently with this book, by providing a wonderful resource with examples on how to use LINQ, as rapidly as possible.HIGHLY suggested!

This was much more than what is advertised. Ordering a Pocket Reference, I suspected little more than a handy syntactical reference. The reality is that the beginning of the book has a very nice, insightful exposition on LINQ. I had used LINQ for a year+ before purchasing the book, so I had some background in the material. However that exposition revealed bits of the underlying design and architecture that I couldn't have guessed at. This was one of the more pleasantly surprising purchases I've made over the past year.

I bought this thinking that it would help me get to grips with LINQ, which it has (yay!)Then opened up my C# reference guide to find I already had all the text in there! (doh!)But it is great to have a smaller guide to make notes in.There are more detailed books on implementation out there, but this is a good starting point.
