LINQ is a vital part of the C# ecosystem. This technology makes working with data an efficient process. Thanks to LINQ we can transform data from various sources, like XML files, SQL servers and so on. If you work with, e.g. the popular framework .NET, some knowledge on this topic is crucial.
With this course you will learn the basics of LINQ queries. You will learn how to filter, sort and join data together. All of this you will learn from scratch - you鈥檒l be guided around all the possibilities LINQ has to offer. At the end of the course you will build your own mini-project that will allow you to translate all your newly-found knowledge into practical use.
To fully benefit from this course, you will need to have the basic knowledge of C#.
You will learn the way of LINQ queries
You will learn how to use lambda expressions
You will learn the method syntax and the query syntax
You will master the Where() and Select() operators
You will learn how the SelectMany(), Skip() and Take() operators work
You will learn how to join lists together using Concat() and Union()
You will learn how to get values using Distinct(), Except(), Intersect() and Range()
You will build a mini-project, that will ensure you can put your theoretical LINQ skills into practical use
LINQ simplifies data manipulation by providing a unified syntax for querying diverse data sources, including databases, collections, and XML documents. This consistency enhances code readability and reduces complexity.
LINQ boosts developer productivity by offering powerful operators and methods that enable concise and expressive code. By leveraging features like lambda expressions and anonymous types, LINQ integrates seamlessly with the C# language, allowing developers to write efficient and flexible code.
In essence, mastering LINQ equips C# you with a powerful toolset for efficient data manipulation, increased productivity, and code clarity.
