Anders Hejlsberg on LINQ and Functional Programming

In this video interview, Anders Hejlsberg, the chief architect of C#, describes features in the next release of C#, code named Orcas. Anders first describes how LINQ solves the impedance mismatch between the code that lives on a database server and the code we write with standard programming languages such as C# or VB. He then outlines the new capabilities that functional programming will bring to developers.

Thanks for demysitfying Lamba and bring us LINQ. We are in the process of updating a very large ERP system from VB6 into .NET. The choices of DAL methods have been overwheling and we've spent much time testing and reviewing to establish a sound architecture for this data-centric GUI app. While we still have much to learn about LINQ, it looks like it has the potential to solve many of the issues we face. Thanks again Charlie and Andres.

Thanks a lot Anders, and thank you LINQ team, all of you...

LINQ rocks!

 - Simple

 - Elegant

 - Powerful

...but UNKNOWN

In my country (Iran) developers (all of them (yeah, I know my nation)) tend to use old and sophisticated approaches of ADO.NET and complex ORMs like NHibernate...they broke down REALLY simple problems to complex solutions :-)
