In this article, you’ll learn what LINQ is, and how it can help you as a C# developer to interact with data throughout your .NET project.

Welcome to the world of LINQ

Whilst getting acquainted with the interesting developer world of C# programming and .Net, one cannot overlook the powerful feature known as LINQ queries.
Sooner or later, you’ll come across the abbreviation LINQ, or Language Integrated Query in full, which gives a new dimension to how developers can interact with data. LINQ allows .Net developers to write more readable, maintainable, and efficient code.
Learning what LINQ is, how and when you can use it, and what value it brings to your experience, will benefit you a developer and helps you to increase the clarity of your code.
