LINQ Projects

This repository contains the following LINQ-oriented project assignments:

• Steam BD
• IMBD
• NASA Exoplanets DB
• 4X Game
• Recursive Inventory

The goal of these assignments is to teach database concepts to undergraduate students in interdisciplinary degree programs, where teaching databases as a standalone course is not practical. The projects were developed for a CS2-level programming course, where LINQ and basic database concepts are lectured, and have been shown to effectively engage students and improve their understanding of queries and data manipulation.
