Entity Framework (EF) is Microsoft’s recommended database access library, with Entity Framework Core (EF Core) being the latest version. EF Core is very similar on the outside to the original 6.x version of EF, but very different underneath. In this talk Jon P Smith will describe how to use EF Core and what is going on inside the library. The aim is to allow newcomers to EF get a taste of what it can do for you, and help seasoned users of EF to understand a bit more about why the rewrite has opened a whole new set of options for you to use.
