Come out to this months meeting to learn some more about how you may be using LINQ to improve productivity in your projects.

"The LINQ Project is a codename for a set of extensions to the .NET Framework that encompass language-integrated query, set, and transform operations. It extends C# and Visual Basic with native language syntax for queries and provides class libraries to take advantage of these capabilities."

Personally, I find this technology very compelling.
