EF Core Data Querying: Pagination and Related Data Fundamentals

Unlock the power of Entity Framework Core to retrieve, filter, and structure your application's data with precision and efficiency. By the end of this course, you will confidently build data access layers that can handle complex queries, manage large datasets with pagination, and elegantly work with related information, forming the backbone of scalable .NET applications. What you'll learn: * Understand core EF Core concepts for data access and model configuration * Apply LINQ to Entities for flexible and powerful data querying * Implement efficient pagination and sorting strategies for large datasets * Manage relationships between entities and retrieve related data effectively * Optimize query performance and avoid common data access pitfalls using async/await and tracking options * Practice basic CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) within an EF Core context This course guides you from foundational EF Core principles and model setup through advanced querying techniques. You'll progress from basic data retrieval to mastering complex filters, sorting, and pagination, culminating in efficient handling of relational data. This course is designed for beginner developers new to Entity Framework Core or those looking to solidify their understanding of efficient data querying in .NET applications. No prior EF Core experience is required, but basic C# knowledge is recommended. Start building robust and performant data access layers today.
