About this book
Practical Entity Framework Core 6 focuses on the code first approach to developing a database. Taking the code first approach allows the entire database to be built and maintained in code using EF Core 6 so there is never a situation in which you cannot restore the database schema. Additionally, the code first approach creates an entirely transparent record of changes to the database that is easily tracked in source control systems such as GitHub. Emphasis throughout the book is on leaving you well positioned to architect and lead data development efforts for your organization.
What You Will Learn
- Build robust and maintainable databases using a code first approach
- Create and execute stored procedures, triggers, and functions
- Analyze and optimize performance of database queries
- Ensure data integrity through keys, constraints, and relationships
- Encrypt your database columns at rest with TDE and Always-On Encryption
- Leverage the FluentAPI and attributes for entity configuration
Who This Book Is For
.NET developers who work with enterprise-level applications and need to interact with data structures and data within the back end data store, developers who want to take a code first approach to building database applications to prevent conflicts and optimize efficiency, and those who are moving into full-stack roles, or into senior and architectural roles, and will be responsible for database design and implementation
