Getting the best out of Entity Framework Core - Jon P Smith

Microsoft's Entity Framework Core (EF Core) library allows anyone who can write C# and LINQ to access a database - no need to write SQL. The problem is, are you getting the best out of EF Core?

In this session Jon will describe what is going on inside EF Core, because that will help you to write better database access code. This includes database querying, handling relationships, unit testing, Domain-Driven Design, plus looking at the changes brought in with EF Core 3.

Good talk, thank you! I loved the global query filter for soft delete. I didn't know about that.

Best video talking about entity framework core

Great lecture, thank you! Perfect tips at the end too. Global query filters 👍👍

Fantastic talk Jon. Would have been nice to point to things on the computer instead of the screen, or if NDC had another camera angle to show what you're pointing to, so that YouTube land could see. But still excellent! Thank you!

"You don't need to test EF Core, but you need to test your usage of EF Core"

I started with NHibernate. EF was young at that time... As years passed I used both. A couple of days ago I tried to explain EF to my younger brother. Its a piece of shit which still hasn't been put together, 50 rewrites yet same old bugs and issues, same crap with migration, same shit with EFConfiguration during runtime vs CLI, same lack of docs on FluentMapping. Same crap with how exceptions corrupt internal state of the DbContext, same old hacks. Back to NHibernate.

Very basic introduction to EF Core. This is the stuff you will know after reading documentation for 30 minutes. I was hoping for something more advanced.

First he should learn how to speak to audience ...

[kdaevin]

Still 30% slower than ADO or MicroORMs

I'm not a native English speaker, but this is just outrages. It's your own language man! Learn how to speak it properly, although you're a tech guy! Don't try to speak like Elon Musk. Try to speak like Bill Gates.
