Guys,

I just started on a new project and I decided to use Linq. Its amazing to say the least, it has cut my development time (cost) down by at least 50%!

Linq is ORM ( object relasionship mapping ) and comes out of the box with visual studio 2008 .net 3.5.

I am really not kidding when I say that after reading my first tutorial, within 15 mins i created a complete back end and front end that was completly database driven.

try this tutorial;
