Book Description
Building Data Centric Apps with the ADO.NET Entity Framework 4
Product Description
Get a thorough introduction to ADO.NET Entity Framework 4 -- Microsoft's core framework for modeling and interacting with data in .NET applications. The second edition of this acclaimed guide provides a hands-on tour of the framework latest version in Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4. Not only will you learn how to use EF4 in a variety of applications, you'll also gain a deep understanding of its architecture and APIs.
Written by Julia Lerman, the leading independent authority on the framework, Programming Entity Framework covers it all -- from the Entity Data Model and Object Services to WCF Services, MVC Apps, and unit testing. This book highlights important changes for experienced developers familiar with the earlier version.
- Understand the core concepts you need to make the best use of the EF4 in your applications
- Learn to query your data, using either LINQ to Entities or Entity SQL
- Create Windows Forms, WPF, ASP.NET Web Forms, and ASP.NET MVC applications
- Build and consume WCF Services, WCF Data Services, and WCF RIA Services
- Use Object Services to work directly with your entity objects
- Create persistent ignorant entities, repositories, and write unit tests
- Delve into model customization, relationship management, change tracking, data concurrency, and more
- Get scores of reusable examples -- written in C# (with notes on Visual Basic syntax) -- that you can implement right away

Format:Paperback
I actually bought the first edition of this book and loved it (but not EF at the time). When I saw a new updated edition for EF4 I jumped at the opportunity to learn the new and improved features.
The book starts with excellent introductions to all the different ways to query and so on and doesn't assume a huge knowledge, although I think it helped that I understood LINQ and SQL already.
I bought this book electronically and have been reading it on my Kindle, I bought the paper edition originally and decided my back needed a break!
I am only about 60% of the way through the book but am very impressed with the detail and descriptions provided.
The downloads available for the book are easy to find via the books website as well as providing details about events by Julie. I am disappointed that I missed out on registration for DDD Modern .NET day at Reading, UK where Julie is talking as the event sold out so quickly.
I found that the number of diagrams to be fine, there are just enough to help explain and when using it on a Kindle they appear fine and readable.
As for the reviewer who is angry at purchasing the wrong edition, well that's not Amazons fault or Julies.
