About the technology
Entity Framework radically simplifies data access in .NET applications. This easy-to-use object-relational mapper (ORM) lets you write database code in pure C#. It automatically maps classes to database tables and enables queries with standard LINQ commands. It even generates SQL, so you don't have to!

Following relevant examples from author Jon Smith's extensive experience, you'll progress quickly from EF basics to advanced techniques.
