More about the book

Learn to leverage the features of the new Entity Framework Core APIs to build pure .NET Core applications. This resource is designed for .NET Core developers looking to integrate EF Core into their projects, assuming prior knowledge of .NET Core and C#. Key learning outcomes include creating databases and performing CRUD operations, building relationships among entities, and implementing both client and server-side validation. You'll also learn to manage concurrency for responsive applications, handle transactions, and improve performance through multi-tenancy. The guide is structured into three modules. The first module covers building entities and relationships, including various mapping techniques suited to your application design. The second module delves into validation and querying, teaching you to execute raw SQL queries and utilize Query Objects with the Query Object Pattern. The final module emphasizes performance optimization and application security, including implementing concurrency tokens and exploring row-level security and multitenant databases. Filled with practical examples, this comprehensive guide will empower you to effectively utilize Entity Framework Core 2.0 for efficient software development in your .NET Core applications. By the end, you will be proficient in implementing EF Core to enhance your projects.
