The Entity Framework (EF) is an Object Relational Mapper (ORM) framework developed by Microsoft. It was developed for .NET developers to work with databases easily using entity objects. It sits in the middle of your backend code or business logic and the database. It allows the developer to write code in the application language, C#, to talk with the database. This means that there is no need to use and write the ADO.NET code manually, which we did in the preceding sections. EF has different kinds of commands to the normal SQL commands. EF commands, which look very similar to C# code, will communicate with the database using SQL in the background. It can communicate with any type of data source, so you don't have to worry about setting up or writing different code for each DBMS.

Overview of this book
Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm organized around objects rather than actions, and data rather than logic. With the latest release of C#, you can look forward to new additions that improve object-oriented programming.
This book will get you up to speed with OOP in C# in an engaging and interactive way. The book starts off by introducing you to C# language essentials and explaining OOP concepts through simple programs. You will then go on to learn how to use classes, interfacesm and properties to write pure OOP code in your applications. You will broaden your understanding of OOP further as you delve into some of the advanced features of the language, such as using events, delegates, and generics. Next, you will learn the secrets of writing good code by following design patterns and design principles. You'll also understand problem statements with their solutions and learn how to work with databases with the help of ADO.NET. Further on, you'll discover a chapter dedicated to the Git version control system. As you approach the conclusion, you'll be able to work through OOP-specific interview questions and understand how to tackle them.
By the end of this book, you will have a good understanding of OOP with C# and be able to take your skills to the next level.
