This document provides an overview of LINQ and PLINQ. It introduces LINQ as a programming model that allows for uniform data manipulation and querying. It discusses various LINQ implementations like LINQ to Objects. The document also covers advanced LINQ concepts like recursive lambda expressions and expression trees. It then introduces PLINQ, explaining that it uses the Task Parallel Library to enable parallel processing. The document demonstrates LINQ basics and PLINQ to show how it can speed up processing by using multiple CPU cores.
