Pluralsight EF Core 6 Fundamentals (EF Core 6 Branch)

Note: EF Core 8 Fundamentals was published Jan 2024. Code and links are at https://github.com/julielerman/EFCore8Fundamentals.

All code samples for EF Core 6 Fundamentals on Pluralsight
Published May 3, 2022

Samples are organized by module with before and after versions. The last 3 modules (14, 15, 16) don't have before and after. They just have solutions that were discussed in those modules.

Solutions were built using Visual studio 2022 on Windows and using SQL Server LocalDb.

There are two branches. EFCore6 (original in course) and EFCore7.

Re the EF Core 7 Branch

The EF Core 7 branch is still using .NET6 but every solution (before and after) has been updated to target EF Core 7.

The demos for Modules 2-13 required NO CHANGES AT ALL.

CHANGES CODE FOR THE API TEST Module (13)

1. I updated the Tests project in this demo to .NET 7 (and all packages) in order to run the GetEndPoint tests. The other projects in the solution are still .NET 6.

2. I had to make one change in the API Testing demo (also part of M13) which was to call SaveChanges when adding data to the inmemory context. I could not find details about this change on GitHub. But also want to note that team is more adamant about saying the the provider is not recommended, so for the udpate to the course (EF Core 8) I will not use it any more.
