Today I had the pleasure to receive a copy of LINQ in Action translated in Spanish. This came a bit unexpected, but it's great!
LINQ in Action already existed in German (LINQ im Einsatz), and I know that other translations should be published soon. The Chinese version is the next one expected, I believe.
The Spanish version of the book is published by Anaya Multimedia. The title of the book is simply... "LINQ"!
¡Espero que disfruten la lectura de este libro!

Zeeshan Hirani who already offered us a 500-page Entity Framework learning guide, now publishes great LINQ tips in the first part of his LINQ Deep Dive articles.
These tips are not the usual introductions to LINQ features you can
find elsewhere. You can tell that they come from someone who lives in
the trenches. I learnt very interesting features and best practices I
didn't know about.
- Apply filters before a join to improve query performance
- Filter LINQ queries using object reference comparison
- Apply aggregates to empty collections in LINQ to SQL queries
- Delay loading a property in LINQ to SQL
- Use table-valued functions with eager loading turned on
- Put joins in the correct order in a LINQ to Objects query
- Compose a LINQ query inside a loop

Microsoft just named me an MVP for the sixth year in a row!
What to expect from me this year? Well, I'll continue to improve my existing projects but I also have new projects in the pipe. The best way to know what I'm up to is to follow this blog :-)
