Free Entity Framework 6 Recipes
I've owned the previous version of this book, "Entity Framework 4 Recipes", for a couple years so this purchase was to keep up-to-date on the latest EF features. The first rating of this book (1 star) was simply random gibberish so don't be thrown off. My copy arrived in good condition and I have no problem with the print quality. Figures, tables, and other references are readable. The new edition is printed on slightly smaller pages but it looks to me like the same amount of print with less white space (smaller margins).
I have read recent reviews of other books published by Apress that complain about the new cover design being faded (washed out). This is my 2nd book with this new cover design and neither are faded.
This book simply updates the previous edition with the new Entity Framework 6 features. Also, chapter four now focuses more specifically on MVC. If you haven't started using MVC yet (shame on you!), then you may want to keep the previous version along side this one. After you take into account the updated features that were added, the rewrite of chapter 4, and omission of chapter 15 (Advanced Modeling), you still have a book that inherited the majority of its content from the previous version. For me, that's exactly what I was looking for. Disclaimer: I have only read the first edition and the first two chapters of this updated edition (it just arrived in the mail). I thumbed through the remaining chapters & did a side-by-side comparison.
When I purchased the first edition, I was nervous because I was new to EF programming and afraid that a recipe style book wouldn't provide the basics needed to get up-to-speed.
