About the Author
Derek J. Rouleau is a Computer and Information Systems Manager for a small company
in the greater Portland, Maine area. He has been working with computers since the mid
1990s thanks to a friend’s father, who got him interested in hardware and the workings
of the operating system. Derek started professionally programming while working for
an educational publishing and software company in the Quality Assurance department.
He has been using Visual Basic since VB 6 and C# since 2010. Although he now manages
the department where he works, Derek still makes time each week to write code and
research new and exciting technologies. When he’s not working, he is involved with Off
Track Standardbreds, and he competes in Dressage.

Acknowledgments
I would like to thank Jonathan Gennick and Jill Balzano for having the faith in me and
for helping me bring this book to you. If it weren’t for them and all the great people at
Apress, this would not have been possible.
I also need to thank my Uncle “Doc” and Don Rahmlow of TC2 Consulting Services for
reminding me that we always need to keep trying to learn new things and for pushing me
to keep improving myself. As we get along in our careers, we tend to stick with what we
know, but in this industry you need to keep up with the ever-changing environment, which
isn’t always easy.

Introduction
We decided to try a different approach at writing a technical book, and that is to convey
the information through examples, rather than long paragraphs of text you are only
going to forget later. The hope is that this will give you a good foundation to start your
Entity Framework Core 2.0 journey and that, when you complete the book and start
working on your own projects, you’ll have a good understanding of the material.
Even though this is a book on Entity Framework Core 2.0, we are going to cover some
C# topics that you might not be familiar with, so I hope you find those parts helpful.
In the second part of this book, we cover some aspects of [Link] MVC Core. If you
are interested in that topic, Apress has some very good books on the subject. I highly
recommend that you look into them. Although you will have a working web application
by the end, it will behoove you to do some more reading on the subject.

Introduction
Requirements
When writing this book, I did everything in Visual Studio 2017 Preview and SQL Server
2014. The free version of SQL Server and Visual Studio works with all the examples in
this book. Since this is a beginner book, I thought it best to use the tools that someone
just starting might be using. You can use any version of SQL Server 2008 or newer with
Entity Framework Core 2.0; however, you will run into issues when you try to do the
paging examples if you have an older version of SQL Server, so try to use at least version
2014 if at all possible.
Although you do create a web application in the second section of this book, it is not
required that you have a web server. You need one only if you want to deploy the project
or one like it. Otherwise, you can run and test everything through Visual Studio.
Before We Begin
One final note before we begin. I generally try to live my programming life by two of
my favorite quotes. The first is “never remember anything you can look up” which I’m
pretty sure is paraphrased from Albert Einstein. Now I’m not saying that you shouldn’t
remember how to use an int without having to look it up online or in a book. But for
those things that you hardly ever do, don’t take the time to commit them to memory.
The second is “frustration begins where knowledge ends”. This quote I know for sure is
from Clinton Anderson. This is by far the hardest to implement. If you are getting frustrated
xvi
Introduction
with something, take a step back and try to figure out why. If you are honest with
yourself, it’s probably because you have run out of knowledge on the subject. Try to
figure out where the problem is and which part you are missing. Then learn about it and
try again. By doing this, you will likely have more success than just plugging away and
blindly trying different things.
xvii
CHAPTER 1
Getting Started
We are going to jump right into an example, as I think that is the best way to learn
something. As we cover new topics, we explain them as we work on them. This is better
than a general overview at the start of the chapter or section, because that won’t mean
much to you while you are reading it. I personally dislike it when books show you the
wrong way of doing something and then show you how to do it “correctly” after you just
spent five minutes typing in the wrong way, so I’m not going to do that to you. However,
I do explain why we are doing something and explain what would be wrong. Since this is
a “getting started” type of book, all the examples work as written, although they may not
be the best way of getting it done. As you get more comfortable with this technology and
as your skills grow, you’ll come up with your own way of doing things. I’m just here to
help you started down the path to greatness.
For those of you who are like me and skipped the Introduction, you should be using
the latest build of Visual Studio 2017 and at least .NET Framework 4.6.1. At the time of
this writing, the latest build of Visual Studio was 15.3.3 with the .NET Framework build
4.7.02046. These build numbers can be found in the Visual Studio About window.

Chapter 1 Getting Started
The application created here is used throughout the first section of this book and
each section builds off the last, so you really can’t skip around. With that being said, let’s
get started!
