Entity Framework Core 2: Getting Started

Learn Entity Framework Core 2 for robust database persistence in your .NET applications! This course provides a comprehensive introduction to EF Core, Microsoft's powerful Object-Relational Mapper (ORM).

Whether you're a beginner or have experience with earlier versions of Entity Framework, this tutorial will guide you through the process of leveraging EF Core in your .NET development.

Here's what you'll master:

• Defining an EF Core Data Model: Understand how to create a data model that seamlessly connects your .NET objects to your database schema. This forms the foundation for efficient data management.
• EF Core APIs: Explore and utilize the various APIs offered by EF Core to interact with your data model. Learn how to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations and more.
• Integrating with .NET Applications: Discover how to incorporate your EF Core data model into both:
  • Desktop Applications (.NET Framework): Build powerful desktop applications with reliable data access.
  • Cross-Platform Web Applications (ASP.NET Core MVC): Develop modern, web-based applications that run on various operating systems.

By the end of this course, you'll be equipped to build scalable and maintainable .NET Framework and .NET Core software using Entity Framework Core 2. All coding examples are demonstrated within Visual Studio 2017 on a Windows environment. Gain proficiency in modern ORM techniques and streamline your data access layer.
