Entity Framework Core Fundamentals for C# Developers

Connecting C# applications to databases does not have to require writing complex SQL queries by hand. Entity Framework Core simplifies data access by letting you work with database records as strongly-typed C# objects. In this course, you will transition from manual database connectivity to using Entity Framework Core as your primary object-relational mapper. You will gain the skills to read, write, and manage database records directly through C# code, using modern best practices for data persistence. What you'll learn: • Understand core object-relational mapping concepts and how Entity Framework Core bridges the gap between C# and relational databases. • Configure the database context and map classes to tables using modern conventions. • Perform database operations using LINQ queries and change tracking. • Manage database schema changes safely over time using migrations. • Implement asynchronous data operations to keep your applications responsive. • Seed initial database data and write basic integration tests for your data layer. The course starts with fundamental terminology and core architecture before moving into database configuration, querying, and schema management. This course is designed for beginner C# developers looking to add database integration to their skillset, with no prior SQL or database experience required.
