Description

The first explanation you typically hear about Microsoft LINQ is that it provides an in-language query tool to manipulate the contents of arrays and lists. Explore LINQ further and you’ll find it works with other popular data sources like XML files. In this course, instructor Walt Ritscher shows you how LINQ to XML uses LINQ extension methods to read, create, search, and manipulate XML in a simplified way. Walt walks you through LINQPad, the lightweight, powerful code editor and code runner that is used in this course, then explains how to load XML into different LINQ classes. He covers how you can get different elements and attributes from XML and some of the ways you can work with elements and attributes, after getting them. Walt describes a variety of query operators that you can use. He concludes with a discussion on how you can create and edit XML structure with LINQ.

Instructor's Courses

I am a seasoned trainer, writer, and speaker who loves learning technology and sharing my discoveries with other technology enthusiasts. My enthusiasm for crafting software interfaces blossomed early. Just a few days after discovering how to move pixels around a computer screen I was devouring books on the topic of computer graphics and UI design. Teaching programming and UI design is one of my ongoing passions. I've taught hundreds of courses for universities, colleges, and private training companies. On the consulting side I've had the opportunity to work with customers like UPS, HP, Intel, Wintellect and Intuit. Now I'm a senior staff instructor at LinkedIn Learning. My content team produces hundreds of technical training courses for software developers each year. I'm creating courses on Microsoft developer tools and topics. I love speaking at tech conferences, I'm a frequent speaker at major industry events in Europe, Asia and the Americas. I received the Microsoft MVP award for thirteen years (2005-2018) I joined the ranks of video authors in 2002, producing a small series of .NET videos for Microsoft Press. 2010 saw my first video course on Lynda.com. Now I have hundreds of hours of video training courses available at LinkedIn Learning. My current UI obsession revolves around the Windows 10 and XAML based languages. If you want to know more about XAML based pixel shaders check out my "HLSL and Pixel Shaders for XAML Developers" book available from O'Reilly Media. I'm also a big fan of keyboard synthesizers, digital music and music production. Specialties: smart client , device and web UI technologies, audio and music production, writing, speaking, curriculum development, teaching.
