Hello,

I learned C#.
Now should I learn ADO.NET for ASP.NET Core? or Entity framework is better for my goal? How about LINQ to SQL?
I don't know the roadmap for learning ASP.NET Core.

Thank you

    Hi @Shervan360 ,
    I think,you don't need to learn asp.net for asp.net core..net core is new frame work to create cross platform application and it is an open source.
    Asp.net core is using .net core framework.
    Asp.net is using completely .net framework.
    You can directly learn ASP.NET Core, the following is the ASP.NET Core developer roadmap, you can learn according to your needs:

    Linq to sql did not get ported to .net core, so there is one off the list. Ado.net is lower level api used by EF. It depends on your goal. Do you want to use an ORM? EF is best at code first.
