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

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 I'm afraid the book is already outdated by recent EF releases.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.
