Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

Are you tasked with upshifting an application to .net CORE 6 or starting from scratch?  There are many changes and improvements to the Entity Framework in .net CORE 6 that can dramatically improve code quality, clarity, performance, and improve synchronization of the model on deployment.  This course covers the fundamental design patterns as well as advanced concepts that will improve code quality, the security of your data and code.  Each video is a bite-sized nugget of knowledge to empower your next generation of applications.  

This hands-on course will guild you through each aspect of the Entity Framework in .net CORE 6, from the fundamentals such as keeping models in synch as they evolve through Migrations and code automation and clarity through Data Annotations will be explained.  We will dive deep into the Fluent API and how to use the ModelBuilder class.  You will learn the fundamental CRUD operations and understand the usage of the DbContext, and dive deep into IQuerable and IEnumerable – learn when to use each and best practices.

You will also learn advanced features such as Scaffolding to generate classes that map to data entities, using the Repository and Unit Of Work Pattern to optimize code and improve quality and consistency.   You will learn how to do pagination that will improve application performance, execute raw SQL and handle the results.

Furthering your advanced knowledge, you will learn how to secure your data and application code through encryption and built-in Identity providers.
