LINQ to SQL Video Series from Mike Taulty

Mike Taulty, a member of Microsoft UK's Developer & Platform Group who frequently blogs on LINQ-topics, has created a series of short (about 15-minute) video segments devoted to LINQ to SQL as implemented by the Orcas March 2007 CTP. Mike plans to post a new segment each business day until he exhausts his collection.

Following is a complete list of all segments (only two of which were available when I first posted this):

1. Introduction to LINQ to SQL (13:00, April 16, 2007)
2. A Tour Around the DataContext (18:00, April 17, 2007)
3. Mapping Between Types and Schema (13:00, April 18, 2007)
4. Tools for Generating Mapping Information (14:00, April 19, 2007)
5. Inserting Data (09:00, April 20, 2007)
6. Deleting Data (15:00, April 23, 2007)
7. Updating Data (20:00, April 24, 2007)
8. Concurrency (19:00, April 25, 2007)
9. Joins (13:00, April 26, 2007)
10. Dealing with NULLs (09:00, April 27, 2007)
11. When Do Queries Execute? (08:00, April 30, 2007)
12. Deferred Loading in LINQ to SQL (12:00, May 1, 2007)
13. Querying with Stored Procedures in LINQ to SQL (24:00, May 2, 2007)
14. Modification with Stored Procedures in LINQ to SQL (18:00, May 3, 2007)
15. Calling Standard T-SQL Functions in LINQ to SQL (05:00, May 4, 2007)
16. Calling Custom T-SQL Functions in LINQ to SQL (13:00, May 8, 2007)
17. Inheritance in LINQ to SQL (18:46, May 9, 2007)
18. Transactions in LINQ to SQL (06:51, May 10, 2007)

The presentations are well-edited and have surprisingly high production value for this genre. 18 segments are close to a full TV season (26 weeks).

Update: 5/11/2007: Mike has posted a trio of LINQ to XML video segments in C# and VB.

Update 4/24/2007: Mike's added posts about System.Linq.Expressions and LINQ to SQL - Dynamically Constructing Queries recently.
