Introduction to Entity Framework 4.1
with expert Don Kiely
Entity Framework is an exciting technology that is fast becoming the primary data access technology in Microsoft's .NET development world. It is an object-relational mapping tool that is deeply integrated in the .NET Framework and fully supported by tools in Visual Studio 2010. It supports a variety of development methodologies in various ways, including support for database-first, model-first, and code-first design. Microsoft is positioning Entity Framework to be the data access technology of choice in the .NET world, and it is appropriate for any non-trivial application that uses data heavily. During this Live Learning event, you'll learn about what Entity Framework is and why you might want to use it, and explore its various tools and APIs.
