Programming Entity Framework is a thorough introduction to Microsoft's new core framework for modeling and accessing data in .NET applications. This book not only gives experienced developers a hands-on tour of the Entity Framework, and explains its use in a variety of applications, but also provides a deep dive into its architecture and APIs. From the Entity Data Model (EDM) and Object Services to EntityClient and the Metadata Workspace, Programming Entity Framework covers it all. Written by Julia Lerman, the leading independent authority on the framework, Programming Entity Framework includes scores of reusable examples written in both Visual Basic and C# that you can implement right away.
