August London UG Meeting - All things LINQ
We have an exciting meeting planned for London in
August.
I’m sure you’ve
heard of LINQ, LINQ to SQL or Entity Framework, or you might have heard of over
ORM solutions such as NHibernate. ORMs are all about being able to have a set of
objects which developers can use with out having to worry about data access.
So what do these tools mean for the SQL Server Developer and
DBA.
Mike Taulty has volunteered to do a couple of sessions on what LINQ
is all about and what LINQ to SQL and the Entity Framework mean to you as a
database professional. Is it going to kick you out of a job or provide you more
work ???
The Agenda for the evening is.
6pm – 6:30 News and open

release candidates service packs, best practices, training etc. And then will open up the floor to any
one that has something to say.
