NYC Entity Framework Firestarter: September 27th, 2010
The Entity Framework is a set of technologies in ADO.NET that support the development of data-oriented software applications. First introduced in .NET 3.5 SP1 in 2008, the Entity Framework underwent significant changes in its second version, known as Entity Framework 4, released in Visual Studio 2010 earlier this year. If you haven’t looked at EF before due to “V1 concerns”, now is the time to check it out.
What better way to learn about the Entity Framework than from the east coast’s resident EF guru, Julie Lerman! Join Julie, Rachel Appel, and Stephen Bohlen for a full-day learning event at the Entity Framework Firestarter in New York City! They’ll spend the whole day bringing you up to speed on all you’ll need to know about the Entity Framework and how it can help with your application development.
