Sorry no blogging from the first day here. I was too busy most of the day and too tired when I got back to my room.
However, I do have some thoughts.
First thought, LINQ. Language Integrated Natural Query (I think that’s what it stands for) is cool. You’ll be able to integrate your queries directly into your code. Hmmm…but will our SP guys like that? Perhaps you’ll be able to use the queries on resultsets from SP’s? I’ll have to find out.
