How great is that session title?
I'm happy that I don't have a session scheduled at the same time that Alex and Paul are doing this talk during the SDN Conference in Amsterdam next week. If the session is as entertaining as the title, it will be quite a lot of fun to attend! (Of course, it is likely to be in Dutch so I might miss a few good parlays.) Paul's one of the reviewers of my book, so I expect him to be able to go pretty deep into EF's capabilities and provide a good challenge based on what he's learned.
Alex Thissen and Paul Gielens take will compete with two major innovations in the field of data access, namely: the new Entity Data Model - which is part of the ADO.NET Entity Framework - and linQ (Language Integrated Query) to SQL queries to integrate into the programming languages. What are these technologies, how do they compare to each other, what role they play in Microsoft's Data Access Strategy and when to use what? Of course, there is only one winner!
