Summary
Wow, my head is spinning. I hope I didn't lose too many of you so far. I know a lot of this and the previous chapter is a little dry, but these two chapters are packed with the essentials of LINQ. I hope that as I covered each query operator you tried to visualize when you might use it. A large part of making LINQ effective for you is having a feel for the operators and what they do. Even if you can't remember every variation of each operator, just knowing they exist and what they can do for you is essential.
From my coverage of LINQ to Objects and the Standard Query Operators, hopefully you can see just how powerful and convenient LINQ is for querying data of all types of in-memory data collections.
