Code first with EF 4 and documentation

Question

Hi!

I know EF4 is still in development but as a newcomer to the subject, I need a document, tutorial etc. with EF 4 code first approach. All the info is in EF 4 Team Blog but scattered around different posts. A full coverage would be really nice.

Any one knows of a such place?

Thanks.

The best online resource that I've seen so far is Scott Guthrie series of blogs on the new EF “code first” development option:

Code-First Development with Entity Framework 4
Entity Framework 4 “Code-First”: Custom Database Schema Mapping
Using EF “Code First” with an Existing Database

If you are new to the subject, like you said, then they will be a perfect point to start. There is no online documentation on MSDN for the code first API by the way, as it's merely a CTP and subject to be changed.
