Fundamentals

Get Entity Framework

Here you will learn how to add Entity Framework to your applications and, if you want to use the EF Designer, make sure you get it installed in Visual Studio.
Creating a Model: Code First, the EF Designer, and the EF Workflows

Do you prefer to specify your EF model writing code or drawing boxes and lines? Are you going to use EF to map your objects to an existing database or would you like EF to create a database tailored for your objects? Here you learn about two different approaches to use EF6: EF Designer and Code First. Make sure you follow the discussion and watch the video about the difference.
Working with DbContext

DbContext is the first and most important EF type that you need to learn how to use. It serves as the launchpad for database queries and keeps track of changes you make to objects so that they can be persisted back to the database.
