Kevin Hazzard on LINQ To SQL

andyleonard — Fri, 09 May 2008 03:54:00 GMT

Kevin Hazzard did an outstanding job presenting to the Richmond SQL Server Users Group this evening on LINQ To SQL!

I really like the ORM / code generation aspects of this new feature of the .Net Framework 3.5. Seeing it in action made me yearn (a little) for my application developer days.

Kevin's VPC crashed a couple hours before his presentation so he recreated the presentation and three demos in 1.5 hours before the meeting - and they were not simple demos, especially the last one.

It's always cool to watch technology in the hands of a master.
