Where can I find a good step-by-step tutorial on using Entity Framework with a real-esque project?

Question

I found the MSDN quickstart guide, but it's a bit lacking in explanation and other useful things.

Do you know where I can find a good tutorial for someone somewhat familiar with Linq-to-SQL but interested in EF?

Answer 1

The best place to go look for Entity Framework stuff it Julie Lerman's blog site, Don't Be Iffy, and her web site for her book Programming Entity Framework - she has a "Tutorials" section there.

Answer 2

Like marc_s says Julie has some good info. I recommend http://tekpub.com/production/ef for a great source of EF4 information and then of course my favorite blog on the topic http://blogs.msdn.com/b/efdesign/

Answer 3

Here's the book on Amazon:

Programming Entity Framework, paperback

I must confess, though: I know little on the subject.

Answer 4

You can start with some video tutorials from msdn found here and in parallel you can study the following book: Entity Framework 4.0 Recipes: A Problem-Solution Approach (Expert's Voice in .Net)
