From the course: .NET Essentials: Working with LINQ

Welcome

- [Walt] Early in the .NET era, Microsoft decided that functional programming concepts should be a part of .NET. The main goal of this initiative was to bring to life a new programming query language called Language Integrated Query, better known as a L-IN-Q. L-IN-Q is a general purpose query tool set. You write your queries directly in your favorite .NET programming language. L-IN-Q can be used to access data coming from many sources. In this course, we'll look at L-IN-Qed objects, a useful tool for querying data and collections, lists and arrays. Hey there. I'm Walt Ritscher, and I'm a big fan of L-IN-Q. In this course, we'll explore the features added to .NET that power L-IN-Q. We'll explore fundamental concepts for L-IN-Q queries. Then we'll take a long tour of filters, aggregates, groups, set operations, quantifiers, and partition tools. Put on your explorer hat, and let's query your data.
