You may not have heard about Microsoft's new brainchild, Language Integrated Query (LINQ). If you did hear about it, you may have yawned and put it down as yet another new technology searching for a requirement.
However, LINQ is different from most new technologies because it really can do everything it says it can. After working with LINQ for nearly a year, I've found that LINQ hasn't disappointed me, as have so many other technologies I've tried. LINQ is incredibly easy to use and quite reliable. The fact that I'm not alone in that sentiment is attested to by the large number of third-party add-ons created by other developers who feel the way I do about LINQ.
