The Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 client object models provide means to easily perform numerous tasks with SharePoint lists and sites.

For an example that demonstrates how easy it is to set up a managed client application to work with SharePoint data, see Creating a Basic SharePoint Foundation Client Application.
