Lesson 1: Accessing SharePoint 2010 lists using LINQ to SharePoint
LINQ is a new data access paradigm that enables users to express SQL-like syntax against a variety of data sources. In this module, we first cover the basics of LINQ handling and then dicsuss accessing SharePoint list information by using LINQ. LINQ to SharePoint provides a strongly typed and easy-to-use interface to query information from lists in SharePoint 2010.

Lesson 2: Using the client object model and REST to access SharePoint 2010
The Client object model (Client OM) is a unified model to access SharePoint information remotely by using programming concepts that are similar to the Server object model (Server OM). We cover Client OM use from Microsoft .NET clients, Silverlight, and ECMAScript (JScript, JavaScript). We also cover Silverlight development in SharePoint and the new REST-based interface that is available for list information access.
