LINQ to Entities, LINQ to Objects, LINQ to XML, Functional Programming and LINQ
Extension methods were introduced in C# 3 and since then became an indispensable part of the .NET platform. That enormously powerful feature allowed to build a whole framework built upon it called LINQ or Language Integrated Query. I’ve seen many code bases which avoid using LINQ and rely on old procedural style of programming. If you still feel yourself uncomfortable with LINQ or you want to improve your understanding of LINQ, then this course is for you.  As you might know, LINQ was inspired by functional paradigm and F# in particular. So, this course is not only about LINQ but about the fundamentals of functional programming as well.
This course covers:
The basics of LINQ: extension methods, the idea of pipelining, IEnumerable, implementing our own extension, query syntax, pitfalls of LINQ operations, how to alter a list
Generating data streams: Enumerable class and its main operations, implementing your own extension which generates a stream of data
Filtering, Ordering, Projecting: Parsing a CSV file, ThenBy, First, Last, Single, TakeWhile, SkipWhile,Any, All, Contains, SequenceEqual, Select and SelectMany
Joining, Grouping, Aggregating: Join, Group, GroupJoin, Zip, Sum, Average, Min, Max
Conversions: OfType, Cast, ToArray, ToList, ToDictionary, ToLookup, AsEnumerable, AsQueryable
LINQ to XML: overview, generating XML from a collection, reading XML
EF and LINQ: Expression Trees, Inserting  into and Reading from a database
Extendibility in C#: what is functional programming (FP), purity and side effects, extending IDisposable, general-purpose extensions, extending StringBuilder, Primitive Obsession
In short, this is a great course, so enroll right now and start learning LINQ and the fundamentals of functional programming.
Understand all the LINQ operations
Filtering, Ordering, Projecting with LINQ

I'm thankful enough for that I love what I do.I began my career as a postgraduate student participating in Microsoft ImagineCup contest. I've been working with .NET platform since 2003. I've been professionally architecting and implementing software for nearly 7 years, primarily based on .NET platform. I'm passionate about building rich and powerful applications using modern technologies. I'm a certified...
I finished the course, I would like to note that the topic of LINQ is covered perfectly. Other additional topics were also covered and some pitfalls in certain code implementations were solved.
Example is being mismatching and bit confused .. navigation is creating difficulty to understand in well manner. Tab navigation should be lesser while practical example to have a mature understanding.
Der Kurs ist wirklich super. Es wird alles ausführlich erklärt. Das schöne ist, dass die Videos sehr kurz sind, dadurch hat man den Vorteil, wenn man etwas nachschauen möchte, kommt man schnell an die gewünschten Informationen. Man muss nicht in langen Videos suchen.
Very informative and practical.
Excellent
Very good instructor, with concepts that are too many interesting, also the examples are good for practicing and debugging, you learn in this course a lot.
Very good content in this course.
Some parts could be better explained, as they are advanced content and I know there is a lot of programmers that can get lost.
The course was highly informative I laerned so much. I wish more was said or tought in the linq to entities especially combininit with asp.net MVC as this would give more insight. I learned a lot and am happy.
The educator assumes many of these concepts are understood and is causing a lot of holes in the logic of what is being taught.
