Sydney .NET User Group: Introducing Entity Framework Core (aka EF 7)

Introducing Entity Framework Core

Entity Framework Core (previously known as EF7) has been self-described as “Microsoft’s recommended data access technology for new applications in .NET”

EF Core is effectively a complete rewrite of Entity Framework designed to work in more places and with more persistence stores so you can use non-SQL data sources.

This talk covers:

• What has changed and what remains the same compared to EF6

• EF Migrations: from powershell to the new dnx commands

• Configuration and Initialisation using Dependency Injection

• DbContext lifecycle management

• How to hack / override EF behaviour

• Is it ready for Production use? My suggestions for the team
