This series will introduce you to basic Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) concepts and quickly take you into the details of using Linq with Microsoft’s latest data access strategy.
The goal of this series is to focus on solving data access issues – not the theory surrounding it. Topics include ORM terminology, Linq, SQL, flexxing the EF mapper, and using Code-Only to keep your application as maintainable as possible.
1 – What is Entity Framework 4.0?
In this episode we discuss the basics of ORMs and what they do, and then run through a quick 10 minute demo showing you the basics of using the Entity Framework with SQL Server, MySQL, and PostGres.
2 – Small To Medium Databases
In this episode we’ll take a look at working with small to medium databases in a “DB-centric” way, meaning that we’ll focus less on mapping, more on querying. We’ll performance tune some queries and take a longer look at how/why EF generates the SQL it does.
3 – The ObjectContext
In this episode Rob goes a bit deeper into the concepts underlying the Entity Framework, showing various ways to work with the ObjectContext and the Entities under its control. He also discusses some of the “quirks” you might run across.
4 – Mapping a Complex Database
In this episode Rob shows you various strategies for working with complex databases. The subject: AdventureWorks – the hyper-normalized sample from Microsoft. The focus of this episode is on Mapping – the good, the bad, and the stuff that works.
5 – Model First
In this episode Rob shows you how to to work with EF without designing your database first – puttting you, as the application developer, in charge of what your domain model looks like. Topics covered include the “Model-first” stuff released with EF4 as well as “Code-first”, part of the Features CTP3 stuff.
6 – Strategies
In this episode Rob wraps up the series with some opinions about the best way to work with the Entity Framework. He then shows you how to use EF with an ASP.NET MVC web application – refactoring the MVC Music Store (Microsoft sample app) in the process.
