About the Technology
There's a mismatch in the way OO programs and relational databases represent data. 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.

This is the book you need to read for EF Core!
I've been using EF 6 for some years now and this book made the path to EF Core so much smoother. Jon really knows how to explain things and the book is full of real-world examples, not just some foobar things. I also liked a lot the chapter focused on performance tuning EF Core. By far, this is the best resource to dive deep and improve your knowledge of EF Core. Look no further!

Haven't finished yet but a lot of the code examples seem to be incomplete, leaving out some properties, fields & methods. The GitHub repo is available but often doesn't match up to the examples given in the text.

Even if you describe yourself as expert programmer, there are alwayse a lot of knowledge you haven't chance to capture.
This book includes a lot of these knowledge,so I very recommended it for every .net developer.

A comprehensive deep dive into every aspect of Ef Core that filled with practical examples. A plus that it also include a chapter on how to use EF Core with Domain Driven Design and Clean Architecture.
