.NET Entity Framework Core Workshop
Professional and high-performance data access - using EF Core in modern .NET applications.
Entity Framework Core is the standard ORM for modern .NET applications. In the “NET Entity Framework Core” workshop, we teach developers and architects hands-on how to use EF Core efficiently, securely, and performantly-from fundamentals to production-ready implementations.
Highlights
- Entity Design: Best practices for entity design and modeling.
- Performance: Optimizing LINQ queries and database access.
- Testing: Strategies for unit and integration testing with EF Core.
- DevOps: Automating migrations and CI/CD integration.
Our Shared Goal
By the end of the workshop, your team will be able to use Entity Framework Core effectively and securely in new or existing projects. You will understand its capabilities and risks, and apply best practices for scalable, maintainable, and high-performance data access layers. You will receive sample code, exercises, workshop materials, project structure and database selection recommendations, and an individualized roadmap for productive EF Core adoption.
