Take off to the ADO.NET Entity Framework
The ADO.NET Entity Framework is Microsoft's technology for mapping relations from the database to objects. This course gives you all the details on the ADO.NET Entity Framework including the different mapping scenarios, object-services in multi-user scenarios, using the Entity Framework in a distributed solution, new features such as creating POCOs with T4 templates, using self-tracking entities, working with code-only, and much more. You will also get an introduction to using WCF Data Services to access objects from the ADO.NET Entity Framework.
