I am trying to install SF with VS2015, the installer is angry and wont let me pass go because I don't have an older version installed. Do I really need to install an old version (2005-2013) just to install SF?

Hi Keith,

I played with the new SF Entities a bit with my production projects and did some interesting test loading data in a DevExpress grid with impressive results.

One of the beauty of SFv2 is that you can use it with SFv1 with no conflicts. I am currently in the process of learning more about Linq language to take full advantage of SFE (StrataFrame Entities), so go for it, so we can keep Ben busy

Edhy, have you found any good source info for Linq and VB or are you using C?

Hi,
I am still using VB.NET, I know a bit of C# but haven't had the need to fully embrace it, I know when start doing mobile stuff I will have to get more into C#.

For Linq, I am taking a curse at PluralSight from Deborah Kurata "Practical LINQ", it is in C# but still is understandable.  I love the way she writes hers books and the videos from PluralSight are of excellent quality.  If I find something in VB I will let you know.

Thanks Edhy for the info on PluralSight. I will definitely look into Deborah Videos.
