AutoCAD Recorded Classes: Interesting Developments: Exploring Entity Framework for AutoCAD Development

I won’t pretend to understand any of this. All I can say for sure is your developer colleagues at Autodesk® University 2015 really liked this class, which introduces Microsoft’s Entity Framework—“one of the leading object-relational mapper frameworks in use today,” I’m told—and now you can take it all in. At your leisure. For free.

So if you’d like to learn how to …

• Create an Entity Framework model from an existing database using Code First
• Configure database options using Fluent API and DataAnnotations
• Work with Entity Framework objects such as DbContext and DbSet to create, retrieve, update, and delete database records and
• Create AutoCAD objects with data queried from a database via the Entity Framework model

… and you can spare a little over an hour, there’s really nowhere else you want to be. Recorded and available here in its entirety, with handouts:

Exploring Entity Framework for AutoCAD Development—And Beyond

Churn, baby, churn.
