Entity Framework
Started: 5/1/2022
Duration: 156 months
I’m an Entity Framework enthusiast who brings fast, type-safe data access to hobby projects and small apps using Microsoft’s .NET ORM.
- Code First & Database First: Rapidly define your data models in code or scaffold directly from an existing database—ideal for prototypes and lightweight projects.
- DbContext & LINQ: Use DbContext and expressive LINQ queries to work with your data as strongly typed objects, making development intuitive and error-resistant.
- Schema Migrations: Apply EF migrations to evolve your database schema without manual scripts—perfect for iterative feature development.
- Relationships & Navigation: Configure one-to-many, many-to-many, and complex relationships with ease, then navigate your object graph through simple navigation properties.
- Loading Strategies: Experiment with eager, lazy, and explicit loading to balance simplicity and performance in your applications.
- Conventions & Customization: Rely on EF’s conventions for sensible defaults, and override with Data Annotations or the Fluent API when you need fine-grained control.
- Seamless .NET Integration: Plug EF into ASP.NET Core apps, console tools, or Azure Functions for out-of-the-box data persistence in diverse environments.
