I am reallly enjoying it. Now that I am more immersed in actually coding and rewriting an app, it has become clear to me that understanding from training and trying to solve business problems are two very different things. The real training comes during the rewrite and the coding process. Very exciting actually.

>>Not at all. It's still strongly-typed. It's just that now the compiler and Intellisense is smart enough to infer the type based on the return type. When you use var you aren't saying "I don't won't know it's type until later", but instead, "Hey, compiler, figure out the correct type for me". "var" was actually necessary to allow for anonymous types, which was necessary for LINQ. It's kind of interesting if you look at the language elements added to 3.5 how many of them were required in order to get LINQ working.
