Greg, This is a companion book to the larger
http://www.bookware.com.au/cgi-bin/bookware/9780596807269 When dbcontext came out, they did this book up just to cover the dbcontext stuff only, so if you don't have the first book, you may miss a few points (not sure tho, I've only have the original book, and not the dbcontext one). Not sure if anything out there in print is more up to date sorry. Thanks Clint Colefax From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Greg Keogh Sent: Monday, 4 February 2013 12:57 PM To: ozDotNet Subject: A book on DbContext Folks, I almost ordered this book: http://www.bookware.com.au/cgi-bin/bookware/9781449312961 As I'm using VS2012 and the latest Entity Framework for Framework 4 (not 4.5 yet). The templates have changed a fair bit and now they use DbContext by default. However ... I'm afraid the book is already outdated by recent EF releases. Can anyone confirm this so I don't waste $27.95 + postage? There doesn't seem to be any EF book out at the moment which is right up-to-date. Things are changing so rapidly that perhaps the authors don't won't to waste time. Let know if you know otherwise. Greg P.S. The book is rather thin and I could probably learn everything in it by reading the online docs, but I find I can better absorb new information by reading analogue pages when I'm relaxed in the comfy chair.
