Answer 1

Although this isn't free, and might seem "daunting" to a beginner. But the Professional LINQ book published by Wrox I found was good as a "get your feet wet" book. It's not what I would consider part of their professional series despite the title and doesn't go into nearly as much depth as it should, but it's a good start nevertheless.

Answer 2

I have been looking quite alot for the same, but i have found that there isnt really a place where everything is together..

But there is a few good resources.

LinQ 101 - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vcsharp/aa336746.aspx

And this one got quite a few small example snippets on how to do things in alot of different languages. And it got a section for linq too

Id say start with linq to sql, they stopped developing that a while back, but the syntax is exactly like linq to entities, linq to entities and linq to sql is almost the same, there is a few things different, but id say start from the "bottom" :)

This is a really good tutorial about how to jump from "linq to sql" to "linq to entities" http://naspinski.net/post/Getting-started-with-Linq-To-Entities.aspx
