Steve Westgarth - Entity Framework and the Unit of Work Design Pattern
Details
Sponsored by our friends at Cordius.
The unit of work design pattern has been around for a number of years and is often selected as a valid design pattern by developers due to the way it conforms to the requirements for separation of concerns.
The approach does however break several of the SOLID principles and this has lead many to favour other patterns and approaches.
In this talk we’ll review the Unit of Work Design Pattern and explore alternative methods of implementation that offer a more SOLID approach. We’ll also explore the pros and cons of other design patterns that you may be using in your code and actively discuss and critique the options available to developers for working with Entity Framework.
By the end of the talk attendees will:
- Have a clear understanding of the Unit of Work Design Pattern
- Have considered the SOLID principles and why the principles are still important in software development today.
- Will be equipped to challenge the Entity Framework Design Pattern being used within their current active projects and have new ideas as to how to make SOLID improvements.
