NEW! ADO.NET 3.5, LINQ, and the Entity Framework

This latest edition of our ADO.NET book is full of NEW material on developing today's database applications. Sure, you'll still learn how to use RAD tools to prototype applications and ADO.NET code to build full-fledged 3-layer applications like the pros do.

But that's just the first half of the book! In the second half, you'll start using two new features that can change the way you handle data in your applications: LINQ and the Entity Framework.

There are two editions of this book: one for VB that's now available and one for C# that's coming in July.
