About the technology:

Entity Framework Core is an object-relational mapper (ORM) that bridges the gap between your C# code and the commands required to access relational databases. As Microsoft's recommended data access technology, it automatically maps your classes and code to the tables and views of a database—making it radically easier to query and write to databases from a .NET application. It allows you to query and write to your database using standard LINQ commands, and it will even automatically generate the model from your database schema. Now that .NET Core 5 is Microsoft's primary development system, it has never been more important to master Entity Framework Core.

About the book:

Entity Framework Core in Action, Second Edition, is a comprehensive guide to accessing databases from .NET applications. Updated and upgraded with new content, new diagrams, and new examples, this second edition of the bestselling original begins with a clear breakdown of Entity Framework, along with the mental model behind ORM. You'll discover time-saving patterns and best practices for security, performance tuning, and even unit testing, as well as tips and tricks developed by the author through their extensive experience working on different client applications.
