LINQ Resources
At TechED, I promised to post a set of resources at my LINQ session. This post is a bit overdue due to things being a bit hectic after TechED. My apologies for the delay.

Some links related to questions in the session.
Can I do joins - Yes, Joins can be both implicit (i.e based upon the relationships in LINQ to SQL) or explicit (i.e using the join keyword). Check http://blogs.msdn.com/zainnab/archive/2007/10/26/linq-and-joins.aspx for a simple join example.
