LINQ & Lambda

I think I have a problem. I'm addicted to LINQ and Lambdas...

Every opportunity I get to play with a new LINQ provider I take it. LINQ to XSD, LINQ to Lucene, LINQ to Flickr, LINQ to SQL, LINQ to * - you name it - I've injected used it.

And it seems I'm not the only one, with others confessing their uncontrollable attraction toward them too.

Last week I spent a few days on an old C# 2 project. Within minutes, I was clutching for the sweet, sweet 3.0 compiler. I couldn't stop sweating when writing event handler receivers like delegate(object sender, EventArgs e) {}.

Calm down Vijay... they're just withdrawal symptoms...

Oh the inner angst and turmoil! What do I do?! How do I expel the Demons from within?!

I call these demons LINQ & Lambda, and they've irrecoverably changed the way I think - reprogrammed my brain.

Last night, I dreamt of an anthropomorphism of these Demons.

LINQ and Lambda

Coincidentally, they resemble the evil, innocent looking, white-nationalist pop duo Prussian Blue.

Perhaps the best way to deal with them is to get the word out. Warn others of my folly and misadventure - in blog-series format.

Stay tuned for Part 1 of LINQ & Lambda...
