Entity Framework 4 in Action

4 is an example-rich tutorial for developers with full coverage of EF 4 features. The book begins with a review of the core ideas behind the ORM model and shows through detailed examples and larger case studies how Entity Framework offers a smooth transition from a traditional approach.

Entity Framework builds on the ADO.NET persistence model and the language features of to create a powerful persistence mechanism that bridges the gap between relational databases and object-oriented languages.

Entity Framework 4 in Action is an example-rich tutorial that helps .NET developers learn and master the subject. It begins by explaining object/relational mapping and then shows how you can easily transition to EF from ADO.NET. Through numerous focused examples and two larger case studies, the book unfolds the EF story in a clear, easy-to-follow style.

LINQ Unleashed: for C#


Foreword by Darryl Hogan, Architect Evangelist, Corporation

Microsoft’s highly anticipated query technology makes it easy to retrieve any information programmatically from any data source, no matter where it comes from or how it’s stored. Using LINQ, developers can query objects, relational databases, documents, and datasets–and do it all directly from # 3.0, leveraging the powerful capabilities of LINQ.

This is a definitive guide to getting real-world results with LINQ, using C# 3.0 and Visual Studio 2008. In LINQ , Microsoft MVP Paul Kimmel covers every facet of LINQ , showing how LINQ can help you dramatically improve your productivity and build more reliable, maintainable applications.

Kimmel begins by reviewing the state-of-the-art C# programming techniques LINQ uses, including anonymous types, partial methods, and Lambda expressions. Next, using realistic examples and easy-to-adapt sample code, he details the most powerful new LINQ techniques for accessing objects, databases, and XML. You’ll gain a deep and practical understanding of how LINQ works “under the hood”–and learn how to do everything from selecting data through integrating XML with other data models. [Read more...]
