Joshua Howard –
This is a really great course. The only reason I slightly dinged it was because the author needs to update/add to discuss EF Core. From what I can tell “most” of the content is still applicable so I don’t think it would be much of an addition; it just NEEDS to be there.
Kumar Chandrashekhar Kashyap –
Its a very concept centric tutorial and removes all misconceptions about Entity Framework. Thanks for making this.
Sebastián Andrés Huérfano –
Awesome course, I like how mosh combines theory and practice in the course, moreover useful tips to improve our code.
Joel Anderson –
Mosh did a great job going over Entity Framework. This course is a few years old, and there are some outdated items here, but for those still on EF 6, this works well.
I’d love to see an updated course specifically focused on EF Core and those changes. I’d also be interested in seeing a course regarding architecture setup and design that Mosh alluded to in the Repository Pattern section.
All in all, I’d recommend if you are using EF 6. If you’re on EF Core, there’s value here but I think you’ll be better served by watching or reading content Julie Lerman has put out on the subject (see her blog at https://thedatafarm.com/blog/). Hopefully Mosh will produce an updated course in the near future.

Very good structured course and explained. I have learnt much during this course. Thanks you Mosh
Pankaj Prakash –
Starting from the basics and building concepts. I love Mosh’s explanation. Though I felt, Repository pattern explanation was not clear(personally to me).
Akanksha Pandey2 –
It was an awesome course and it did answer my few doubts i had about the EF and also about few C# concepts. I went through this twice and its a good one to learn .
Harsh –
This course refers to very old Entity Framework, mosh could have updated this course for Entity Framework core. The concepts are not clearly explained. Better purchase other courser because this concepts are available on Youtube by other authors and in clear concepts
Janet Robinson –
Mosh is a great instructor with no-fluff explanations and I really like that. The reason for the 4 stars is because Mosh no longer updates this course which is unfortunate since this is a topic that many people are interested in.
Jean-Jacques Kujawa –
As usual Mosh pedagogy is unmatched. He makes simple what many others complexify. Provides the contextual information that makes everything clear. Not the first course I take from him and that clarity is a constant.
True the course is aging now as EF Core is available, but I learn the old ways from Mosh in the day and I complete in the evening. That’s how I learnt the global philosophy of EF and fill the gaps with the newer versions from there.
Ritesh Gupta –
Indepth Knowledge provided by Mosh. You are a great instructor. Thank you so much.
Abdul Majid –
Very well designed course and excellent instructor training.
