In this chapter, we've taken a bit of a guided tour around the EF Core neighborhood. We started off at the museum and looked at the history of Entity Framework before visiting the school district to discuss some of the differences between the Code-First, Model-First, and Database-First implementation approaches. There was even a quick visit from TechNet, who offered some ideas around designing a database.
Afterward, we spent some time building our own EF Core solution and looked at the various ways of deploying our application. We also had a look at populating our new building with some test data to see how it will hold up once opened up to the public.
The tour concluded with a visit to the distribution district so that we could get an overview of the available deployment options.
The visit was far too brief to cover all that is available and possible in the world...
