Entity Framework is an object-relational mapper (ORM) that bridges this gap, making it radically easier to query and write to databases from a .NET application. EF creates a data model that matches the structure of your OO code so you can query and write to your database using standard LINQ commands. It will even automatically generate the model from your database schema.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUsing crystal-clear explanations, real-world examples, and around 100 diagrams,  Entity Framework Core in Action  teaches you how to access and update relational data from .NET applications. You'l start with a clear breakdown of Entity Framework, long with the mental model behind ORM. Then you'll discover time-saving patterns and best practices for security, performance tuning, and even unit testing. As you go, you'll address common data access challenges and learn how to handle them with Entity Framework.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat's Inside Querying a relational database with LINQ Using EF Core in business logic Integrating EF with existing C# applications Applying domain-driven design to EF Core Getting the best performance out of EF Core Covers EF Core 2.0 and 2.1\u003cbr\u003e\nAbout the Reader\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor .NET developers with some awareness of how relational databases work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJon P Smith  is a full-stack developer with special focus on .NET Core and Azure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePart 1 - Getting started Introduction to Entity FrameworkCore Querying the database  Changing the database content  Using EF Core in business logic  Using EF Core in ASP.NET Core web applications  Part 2 - Entity Framework in depth Configuring nonrelational properties  Configuring relationships  Configuring advanced features and handling concurrency conflicts  Going deeper into the DbContext  Part 3 - Using Entity Framework Core in real-world applications Useful software patterns for EF Core applications  Handling database migrations  EF Core performance tuning  A worked example of performance tuning  Different database types and EF Core services  Unit testing EF Core applications Appendix A - A brief introduction to LINQ  Appendix B - Early information on EF Core version 2.1\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":52819417366744,"sku":"YSL33579","price":23.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0835\/3356\/2072\/files\/71gJl9Y94SL._SY1500.jpg?v=1793089409","url":"https:\/\/www.bookmebay.com\/products\/b0977zzdjw","provider":"BookMebay","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
