Practical Entity Framework Core 10 - Database Access for Enterprise Applications

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

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.
