Entity framework is an
Object Relational Mapping (ORM) framework that offers an automated
mechanism to developers for storing and accessing the data in the
database. In order to survive in this growing market, the knowledge of a
framework that helps provide easy access to databases, that is, Entity
Framework has become a necessity. This Video will provide .NET
developers with this knowledge and guide them through working
efficiently with data using Entity Framework Core.You will start by
understanding ORM concepts, before then moving on to discuss advantages
of Entity Framework over ADO.NET. Next you will see how.NET Core fits
into the overall pictures and go over the environment necessary to
follow along with the course. Further you will learn to build your first
sample project to see EF in action here you will learn to create
database and add data to it. Further you will learn about Mapping
Entities and Database structure here you will see how to create mapping
between objects and database structures, how to define tables and
columns. You will learn the specifics or SQL Server types and how to map
them to .NET Types. You will define all possible types of relationships
for your database model. Next you will dive into Querying data you will
learn the basics of Linq then you will start with simple queries,
advance to aggregations and projection techniques. You will see how to
obtain object graphs and talk about performance. Next you will learn
Manipulating data, you will learn how to create, read, update and delete
data, commonly referred to as CRUD operations. You will see the
differences between object graphs and individual objects when it comes
to CRUD features of Entity Framework Core. Finally you will learn best
practices examples.
