LINQ Training

LINQ Training

Language Integrated Query, more commonly known as LINQ, is designed to provide data querying options in program code. Recently introduced with Microsoft's .NET Framework 3.5 and Visual Basic 2008, LINQ uses a number of functions in C# and VisualBasic coding that allows software designers to query and map XML, as well as easily convert C# or XML to SQL.

Data query through LINQ allows programmers to filter, organize and select raw data for use through code. It can also be used to define objects in a program that are tied to a SQL database. Additionally, SQL can be difficult to debug, which LINQ simplifies.

Overall, LINQ allows programmers to organize data more easily within their coding and translate code into SQL queries without having to write any SQL, which is more difficult than C# or other languages.

Software engineers, or students in computer science courses, can take TrainUp's LINQ training in order to better understand query operators and expressions, as well as how to apply it to its different uses in .NET, XML and SQL. LINQ can also be ported for use in PHP and Java. TrainUp offers lessons on .NET 3.5 language, LINQ support, what LINQ actually does and what its role is in programming.
