[AccessD] Friday fun: Lambda Expressions

Hi Shamil,
I have to say that I do agree with Gustav.
It just (to me) appears to be a more complicated way to achieve the same
effect (albeit with less code, but with a full dose of obfuscation).
I say this not to generate any flames, but merely to state that this (to me)
falls into the same area as APIs.  I use them, but don't really understand
them, so I will not be moving to use these any time soon.  The example that
Getz posts on his blog just left me saying "so what".

Of course, it is "horses for courses".  What suits one doesn't necessarily
suit another and may be great for others.

Thanks
Max

Hello Gustav,

I must say I didn't get what do you mean by this sentence - could you please
clarify?

Thanks.

Hi Shamil et al

These links are really good.
That for the FP tutorial covers mostly an example showing the power of LINQ
and how lambda expressions can be used.

However, like Jim I don't see lambda expressions - for us database people -
as much more than just another tool. It may be very useful while it at the
same time will be a must-have for writing uncomprehensive code!

Hello Gustav,

 

Below is the set of good IMO URLs to LINQ and lambda expressions info,
discussions and samples (watch URL's line wraps). Statt with the first one,
which gives really practical sample:

Hi all

 

I think I understand this clever topic:

 

http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/07/09/BasicInstincts/ 

 

but I just can't find a good example where it would be useful.

Anyone having a good idea?
