Entity Framework Core Crash Course | C# .NET EF Core Tutorial for Beginners (Code First)

Entity Framework (EF) is an object relational mapper (ORM) framework that helps to build scalable databases quickly. In this video, we will be learning the basics of EF Core for C# .NET by building a Blog Manager console app.

We'll use Entity Framework Core to create our SQL database (sqlite3) using a Code First approach.

Topics:
- Installing Visual Studio Code
- Install .NET Framework
- Install VS Code extensions (sqlite3 editor and C# Dev Kit)
- Install Entity Framework packages (Design, Sqlite, and dotnet-ef)
- Working with the .NET CLI (command-line interface)
- Creating models using Code First approach
- Using DbContext base class to extend EF Core configuration functionality
- Making migrations and apply migrations to SQL database
- Building our console app UI for taking user input
- Running CRUD operations on database (create, read, update, delete)
- ...and more!
