Inside LINQ 4.85 http://spkr8.com/t/1219

Description:

LINQ brings us a paradigm shift in working with data from imperitive models to declarative set-based operations. With LINQ we can use the same syntax against many different sources. In this session we will dig under the surface of LINQ to show how the various parts, including Iterators, Duck Typing, IEnumerable, IQueryable, Lambda expressions, expressoin trees, and extension methods work, and how they fit together to allow us to use the same syntax against otherwise dis-similar data sources. By understanding how this works under the covers, you will have a better idea how to use LINQ better.

Jim Wooley gave a fantastic presentation about the internals of LINQ. "Inside LINQ" was loaded with in-depth, highly-technical information about how LINQ works under the hood and why. I came into the presentation knowing little about LINQ, not even sure if a data querying construct belonged in a programming language, but came out of it very interested in learning more and convinced of it's usefulness. Jim Wooley was brilliant.

I also want to note that Jim's presentation was done entirely with real code in Visual Studio and Reflector.
