Student is King (Študent je car) - code and presentation with short LinqPad description
It has been a while, since i wrote something usefull here. Guess, work and lectures are really cutting my free time down. At night i'm to tired to write something, i found out during day period. I have lectured a couple weeks ago at slovenian student event Student is King (Študent je car) about C# 3.0 new features. It was fun playing around, discovering new technology gems and also new tools, really handy programms.
I would really recommend a tool, named LinqPad, for playing with LINQ. Joseph Albahari really build a great learning toolset. Best one, i tryed lately. It has over 200 examples about LINQ to objects, XML and SQL. You could use it as query tool as SQL Query Analyzer. No more SQL plain statments, just LINQ as your primary query language. :)
Its free, lightweight (2mb), auto update-able, simple to use.
Check it out, i REALLY recommend it.

You can find presentation and code samples from ŠJC event here (they are in Slovenian language). Other presentation are also avaible at Slovenian Student Community Portal under tab Downloads (Gradiva).
My passion is more and more web technology, so i'm currently playing around with telerik controls, so be prepared to read more about this wonderfull web controls.
