Mastering Entity Framework Core Course Overview

To ensure that you can successfully undertake training in the Mastering Entity Framework Core course, the following prerequisites are recommended:

• Basic knowledge of C# and .NET programming: You should be comfortable with C# syntax and concepts such as classes, methods, properties, and basic inheritance.
• Understanding of relational databases: Familiarity with the fundamentals of relational databases, including tables, relationships, and primary/foreign keys is expected.
• Familiarity with LINQ (Language Integrated Query): Since Entity Framework Core uses LINQ for querying data, you should have a grasp of how to write LINQ queries in C#.
• Experience with Visual Studio or another integrated development environment (IDE): You should be able to navigate and use an IDE for developing .NET applications.
• Conceptual knowledge of Object-Relational Mapping (ORM): A general understanding of ORM principles will be helpful, even if you do not have prior experience with Entity Framework.
