About this Course

Entity Framework (EF) is an open-source object-relational mapper (ORM) for .NET, enabling developers to work with databases using .NET objects. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability with the use of significant indentation. Python is dynamically typed and garbage-collected. It supports multiple programming paradigms, including structured, object-oriented, and functional programming.

This comprehensive guide covers everything from getting started with EF and DbContext to advanced topics like migrations, performance tuning, and working with complex relationships. You'll learn about data structures, control flow, functions, modules, file handling, object-oriented programming, exception handling, and more. The notes also cover popular libraries like NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, and frameworks like Django and Flask.

Whether you're new to .NET data access or looking to refine your ORM skills, these notes provide a thorough reference for Entity Framework development.
