As Mr. Stovell put it “I would rather the weather to be too cold, than 40+ heat for two weeks like Adelaide.” One of the nice things about the summit is that I’ve had a number of people (non-VSTS MVPs included) come up to me and say

My name is Paul Stovell, and I'm software developer based in Adelaide (Australia). I work for Readify, a .NET consulting company specialising in technical readiness. I am also a Microsoft MVP. I spend most of my spare time working on SyncL b7c INQ, an open source project that enables data binding over LINQ queries.

a post a little while ago about the various LINQ To projects I had seen, but Charlie Calvert has a much more complete list up here. It includes the following LINQ Providers: LINQ to Amazon LINQ to Active Directory LINQ to Bindable Sources (SyncLINQ) LINQ over C# project LINQ to CRM LINQ To Geo - Language Integrated Query for Geospatial Data LINQ to Excel LINQ to Expressions (MetaLinq) LINQ Extender (Toolkit for building LINQ Providers)

I learnt this the hard way with SyncLINQ. The code-base was littered with code like the above, until a couple of the unit tests I wrote to test threading started to fail just once every now and then. It took a while, but I eventually tracked it down to this pattern, and created my rule:

This afternoon I spoke about LINQ at the ADNUG Happens event. I covered: How we got to LINQ: IEnumerable, Anonymous Delegates, Generics New features that enable LINQ: Extension methods, generic parameter interference, lambda expressions, anonymous types What LINQ is
