Entity Framework Core 10
Entity Framework Core (EF Core, EF10) is the premier Object-Relational Mapper (ORM) for .NET. It eliminates the need for most data-access code, allowing developers to work with data using .NET objects. This path takes learners from their first database connection to architecting high-performance, cloud-native data solutions for AI and enterprise applications.
This learning path is actively in production. More content will be added to this page as it gets published and becomes available in the library. Planned content includes:
**Foundations** - EF Core 10: The Big Picture (video course) - Getting Started with EF Core 10 (video course) - Guided: Getting Started with EF Core 10 (code lab)
