Hands on C# .NET: Entity Framework Core

Master Entity Framework Core: Comprehensive Course with Practical Exercises and Performance Optimization

Creating various types of applications—whether mobile, web, or desktop—almost always requires a robust database to store and manage data efficiently.

While you could learn SQL to write and send queries directly to a database, this approach is often error-prone and makes code maintenance challenging and time-consuming.

A smarter and more efficient solution is to use an ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) tool. An ORM simplifies database communication by allowing you to work with C# objects, which serve as an abstraction of the underlying database, streamlining development and reducing errors.

Entity Framework Core (EF Core) stands out as the most popular .NET ORM, trusted by developers worldwide with over 800 million downloads. Its versatility and power make it a go-to choice for building scalable and high-performance applications.

Hi, I’m Jakub Kozera, a passionate .NET expert, and in this comprehensive EF Core course, I’ll guide you through mastering database operations using EF Core—from foundational concepts to advanced techniques.
