Supercharged Productivity with Linq2SQL

Wouldn’t it be great if you could eliminate the time you spend writing data access code with SQL and instead spend that time adding features and value to your software or passing that savings on to your customers? What if in addition to the cost and time savings you could also improve the applications testability, maintainability, security and performance at the same time? All of this is not only possible but easy to do by using Linq2SQL.
