Individually arrangedEntity Framework 6 Training
The Entity Framework platform allows developers to work with data as domain-specific objects and properties, such as customers and customer addresses, without the need to directly manipulate the underlying database tables and columns where the data is stored. During the Entity Framework 6 training, you will learn many important aspects of this ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) framework and how to effectively use it in your projects.
What will you learn?
- Gain practical knowledge of Entity Framework 6 as an ORM tool for effective database interaction in C#/.NET.
- Understand what’s new in EF6 and the differences between EF6 and EF Core, enabling you to choose the right tool for your projects.
- Learn to apply asynchronous operations and testing in Entity Framework to improve performance and application quality.
- Master performance optimization techniques for read and write operations, addressing common issues such as N+1 queries and transactions.
- Explore advanced topics including diagnostics, external libraries, and the benefits of migrating to EF Core.
Who is this training for?
For professionals working with databases who need a powerful tool for quick and convenient access to data.-
For those learning C#/.NET programming – understanding EF6 helps in grasping how ORM works and how to use databases in applications.
-
For developers of business, web, and desktop applications requiring efficient database access.
