LINQ Video with Anders - LINQ Tutorials - C# 3.0 Language Enhancements for LINQ

Charlie Calvert shot a great video on LINQ with Anders Hejlsberg, the chief architect of C#. The video focuses on what it takes to create the Language INtegrated Query functionality such that it is not tied to a particular engine ( SQL, XML, In-Memory Collections, etc. ). Anders talks about Functional Programming and Metaprogramming as well as some particular language enhancements such as Lambda Expressions, Extension Methods, Query Expressions, and Expression Trees that will be in C# 3.0 and VB 9.0 to make LINQ possible and usable. I recommend the video as a good overview of the LINQ Big Picture.

I have written several tutorials on the new C# 3.0 Language Enhancements for LINQ to get you up to speed if you are interested:
