Whirlwinds are bite-sized webcasts, each is shorter than 15 minutes. You can start anywhere in the series to learn about the parts you're most interested in.

Ever wondered about lambda for use in expressions or in statements? Stuart describes them in part 7. He describes what a declarative syntax applies to lambda expressions. He describes to use the 'goes to' operator =>. And then describes the steps for using lambda in C# in both expressions and statements.
