Entity Framework is an object-relational mapper (ORM) that bridges this gap, making it radically easier to query and write to databases from a .NET application. EF creates a data model that matches the structure of your OO code so you can query and write to your database using standard LINQ commands. It will even automatically generate the model from your database schema.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsing crystal-clear explanations, real-world examples, and around 100 diagrams, \u003ci\u003eEntity Framework Core in Action\u003c\/i\u003e teaches you how to access and update relational data from .NET applications. You'l start with a clear breakdown of Entity Framework, long with the mental model behind ORM.
