Answer 2

LINQ is a pretty big subject.

I would start with Hooked On LINQ

The way I learned Linq was from the book Linq in Action

Answer 3

Get LinqPad!

Its a great way to learn LINQ, supports LINQ to SQL, LINQ to Objects and LINQ to XML, and it comes preloaded with 200+ examples from the book C# 3.0 in a Nutshell.

Answer 4

The MSDN Getting Started With LINQ Page was helpful to me.

Answer 5

I'm a long-time SQL developer, and I found that all I needed for the transition to learning LINQ was 101 LINQ Samples off of msdn. All the basics are there, if you understand the generalities of a query-based syntax already. I don't know what your existing expertise is, so thought I'd throw that out there.
