New Video: Demystifying LINQ Methods

I just published Part 2 of my video series on Lambda Expressions and LINQ. You may have heard about Part 1 (Lambda Expression Basics) on This Week on Channel 9 (big thanks to Channel 9 for the mention).

A big problem with LINQ is the apparent chaos of the method signatures:

When we see this for the first time, it seems extremely complex. But once we dive into the different pieces, we see that things aren't as complicated as they seem. And that's exactly what we do in this video: Demystifying LINQ Methods:


While exploring LINQ, we mention a couple of other topics that are covered in separate videos:

• Extension Methods
• C# Delegates - The Basics
• Getting Func<>-y
• C# Generics

As a reminder, Part 1 covers the basics of lambda expressions. And in future videos, we'll look at how LINQ can help us make our code more readable through declarative programming. We'll also take a look at the Join method and the intricacies of using captured variables in "for" loops.

Get links to all of the videos, plus code samples, additional articles, and a PDF walkthrough here: Learn to Love Lambdas (and LINQ, Too!)

Happy Coding!
