You will start the course
by exploring data validation and learn how to implement data validation
inside your model using attributes. Then you will use validation inside
MVC controllers and expose validations inside your MVC views in the user
interface. Next you will delve into advanced query techniques. You will
see how asynchronous code helps your applications scale better and
explore query performance. Further, you will learn how to protect
application data from concurrent access by multiple users, see how
transactions enable changes to multiple tables and learn how to create
an abstraction layer on top of Entity Framework by using the repository
pattern.
Next you will embrace
migrations and embark on a journey designed to develop the database
structure as your application evolves using Entity Framework Core
migrations. Then you will create custom migrations that update database
schemas and use custom scripts to perform migrations while protecting
existing data during rename operations. Finally you will explore testing
and set up a further learning path by writing unit and integration
tests. You will see how to bring Entity Framework into a project based
on an existing database. In conclusion, you will learn about additional
areas Entity Framework core can be used in, and what types of data
structure (besides RDBMS) can be accessed with EF Core.
