------------------

Here are a pair of queries that run in linq:

            var lambda = people.Join(pets,              // outer sequence
                                     person => person,  // inner sequence key
                                     pet => pet.Owner,  // outer sequence key
                                     (person, pet) =>
                                         new { OwnerName = person.Name, Pet =
pet.Name });
        
            // using query expression
            var query = from person in people
                        join pet in pets on person equals pet.Owner
                        select new { OwnerName = person.Name, Pet = pet.Name };
        
Currently both are data objects in ram but both can be switched to
hitting a db by stating the Entity(schema object for the actual disk
data) before the objectName.  That Entity below is ET.

            var query = from person in ET.people
                        join pet in ET.pets on person equals pet.Owner
                        select new { OwnerName = person.Name, Pet = pet.Name };

Linq syntax follows more to the actual engine's working of a query statement.

Process the Where clause, Joins, Where, Order by, Having and then the
"output" or field list

Where you write the Output first and then package all the other parts
afterwords.
