Scott Hanselman, who recently joined Microsoft, is still running his independent podcast and has recently published a show on the ADO.Net Entity Framework. The great thing about this episode is not the depth to which he and guest Mike Pizzo explore the features of the Entity Framework, but rather the survey of data connection technologies available in the world of .Net 3.5 and how they relate to one another. Indeed, the show starts with Scott's question to his guest - "Which technology is right for which types of applications?" What follows is a fairly succinct and helpful comparison of the features of LINQ to SQL, LINQ to objects, LINQ to Entities, and even a quick detour into LINQ to DataSets.
Pizzo is a Principal Architect with Microsoft working on the Entity Framework implementation and is quite well-spoken on the topic. To download the show or find out more, follow this link.
