Public LINQ Chat with the C# Team (12/12/2006)

I posted a notice about the chat on my forum back in November. So, you might want to keep an eye on it. I am trying to keep it up to date on the latest LINQ events.

I've got a blog entry where I cover the difference between LINQ to SQL and LINQ to Entities, but I think it might be worth covering what LINQ to SQL does not do up front before the chat starts so you don't have to field 200 questions from people asking for the difference between the two and you can focus on what LINQ to SQL is and how it works.
Just my 2 cents :)

This chat is a "public chat on LINQ to SQL," not on LINQ to Entities. Technologies related to LINQ to SQL, such as lambdas, extension methods, etc, will also be covered.
As you suggest, I think being prepared to answer questions about the differences between the two technologies would be a good idea.
