The recipes cover a wide range of real-world problems, from using LINQ to replace existing loops, to writing your own Swype-like keyboard entry routines, to finding duplicate files on your hard drive. The goal of these recipes is to get you \"thinking in LINQ,\" so you can use the techniques in your own code to write more efficient and concise data-intensive applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat you’ll learn\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBasic and extended LINQ operators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eText processing \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoop refactoring \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMonitoring code health \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReactive Extensions (Rx.NET)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilding domain-specific languages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWho this book is for      \u003cp\u003e     \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e.NET programmers who are comfortable with some high level programming language like C++\/C#.
