Tutorial series updated for Entity Framework 6 Code First with MVC 5

We have updated our EF Code First / MVC tutorial series to use Visual Studio 2013, Entity Framework 6, and MVC 5. New Entity Framework 6 features covered in these tutorials include:

• Connection resiliency
• Command interception
• Code-based configuration
• Async
• Stored procedures

The series includes the following tutorials:

• Creating an Entity Framework data model
• Implementing basic CRUD functionality
• Sorting, filtering, and paging
• Connection resiliency and command interception
• Code First Migrations and deployment
• Creating a more complex data model
• Reading related data
• Updating related data
• Async and stored procedures

The old EF 5 / MVC 4 series is still available at a new URL:

• http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/getting-started-with-ef-5-using-mvc-4

The old series covers some topics that have not been included in the new series yet.  We plan to add these to the new series later:

• Concurrency
• Inheritance
• Advanced scenarios
• Raw SQL queries
• No-tracking queries
• Working with proxy classes
• Disabling automatic detection of changes
• Disabling validation when saving changes

If there are other topics you’d like us to cover in these tutorials that we haven’t covered yet, please let us know.
