Course

Entity Framework Core - Coming Soon

12 credits

Advanced

The course traces in detail the work with ORM technology: the Entity Framework Core (EF core), which is the standard for ORM in C# and .NET Core applications. EF Core allows mapping between a relational database and an object-oriented model through "database first" and "code first" approaches, and provides a powerful object-oriented API for querying the database and performing CRUD operations. EF core provides both an additional level of abstraction and an easy way to process database data. The course will demonstrate established practices for building database layer on complex systems in C# applications through built-in implementations of the Repository template and the use of the Service Layer, as well as import and export to various data formats (JSON, XML).

Skills which you will acquire

Building a database architecture
Using the Code First approach
Using the Database First approach
Retrieving data using LINQ queries
Working with a database using ORM
