Programming Entity Framework Book Review

Programming Entity Framework Book Review

One of the books I read in
the last weeks was
Julia Lerman’s
Programming Entity Framework book.

Review

Julia Lerman’s book is currently the best
choice if you want to learn
Entity Framework. The book is very
thorough and even though it is very long
to my taste (about 800 pages) it is written
very good. The book covers almost every aspect
in Entity Framework and also suggests some
solutions to problems that V1 has like for
example an approach to N-Tier applications.
The book has a web site with all the code
examples and more materials that you can download.
The author builds the knowledge base of the readers layer on top a layer
in a very easy to follow manner. She doesn't assume that the reader
is a .NET programmer or know Entity Framework so you get all the
details that you need to understand the framework (and nothing more).
As someone that use Entity Framework from its early days, I got to learn
some new stuff so the book was very helpful.

Summary

Lets sum up, as I wrote the book is very impressive. It’s written
in a fluent language that helps to understand the materials. I found myself
learning more things that I didn’t know about Entity Framework so to me
the book was valuable. My rating of the book is 5 stars out of 5.
