Practical Entity Framework

Więcej o książce

Determine your object relational mapper (ORM) of choice for enterprise applications using .NET Framework, particularly .NET Framework Core 3.1 and higher. This book presents real-world examples and considerations to help you create robust and efficient database solutions. It addresses actual problems, questions, and common pitfalls, guiding you toward optimal solutions for various application scenarios. It begins with an overview of the two common approaches to working with databases—database first and code first—before focusing on the code first method. This approach allows the entire database to be built and maintained in code, ensuring that the database schema can always be restored. It also provides a transparent record of changes that can be easily tracked in source control. The emphasis throughout is on equipping you to architect and lead data development efforts within your organization. This resource is ideal for .NET developers working with enterprise-level applications who need to interact with back-end data structures, those adopting a code first approach to enhance efficiency and prevent conflicts, and individuals transitioning into full-stack or senior architectural roles responsible for database design and implementation.
