Summary:

Focus on the code-first approach to developing a database with EFCore 10. Taking the code-first approach allows the entire database to be built and maintained in code so there is never a situation in which you cannot restore the database schema. Additionally, the code-first approach creates an entirely transparent record of changes to the database that is easily tracked in your source control. Emphasis throughout the book is on leaving you well positioned to architect and lead data development efforts for your organization. New to This Edition Demonstrate the Object Relational Mapper (ORM) of choice for working with databases for enterprise applications using .Net Framework from the ground up. This third edition is revised to cover modern EFCore development as of EFCore 10 and includes information and examples for changes from EFCore 7, 8, 9, and 10. Throughout the book, practical examples and considerations are presented to help you understand how to create robust and efficient database solutions. What You Will Learn ● Ability to build robust and maintainable database solutions using a code-first approach ● How to create and execute stored procedures, triggers, and functions ● Skills, tips, and tricks to analyze and optimize performance of database queries ● Confidence to architect data integrity through keys, constraints, and relationships ● Understanding of Data Annotations and the Fluent API for enhancing solutions ● Examples to leverage your learning, including information on the latest features in EFCore.
