Learn how to consume, persist and work with data stored in a database in any type of C# application. This course will teach you the different ways to work with data access in C# and what to keep in mind when applying this in your real-world applications.

What you'll learn
Creating applications that work with data from a database can be tricky, especially since there are multiple ways to do this. In this course, Data Access in C# 10 Fundamentals, you'll learn to consume, create, and properly work with data that you have in the database. First, you'll explore the different ways of accessing data in C#, giving you an insight into different decisions you have to make depending on where you want to access data. Next, you'll discover the most popular way of consuming data in C#, which is done through Entity Framework. This will then be compared against how you'd achieve the same thing, using ADO.NET, which Entity Framework is built on. Finally, you'll learn about alternative data stores and introduce NoSQL. When you're finished with this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge of building applications that consume, and persist data in a database to build powerful, real-world applications.
