Topic: SharePoint 2010 LINQ and REST

Abstract: SharePoint 2010 has new and improved ways to work with data. LINQ to SharePoint lets a developer work with data from SharePoint lists in a strongly typed way that preserves relationships between lists. Integration of ADO.NET Data Services provides a way to get data from SharePoint remotely using REST style web services. The new Client APIs provide a programming model for SharePoint lists that doesn’t have to run on the server. This talk will demonstrate how to write code that uses each of these new data oriented features and will show some new SharePoint platform data oriented features along the way. We will also explain how to choose which data access technology is best for different custom development scenarios.
