are there any good, up-to-date books on entity framework core?
yeah i've looked at both - i think the tutorial is a good start but doesn't really go into stuff like relationships/cardinality (one-to-many, many-to-many), whereas the official docs aren't really structured in a way that makes sense to me coming from Python/Django.
OTOH my issue entity framework core 2E is that it gets you thinking that you're going to build a sample app that uses it, but doesn't lay it out very clearly - for one, the full code's only available in the repository and the code snippets in the chapters i've read don't cover all the models that we're building. i had to head to the repo and search for the code to the PriceOffer, Tag, and BookAuthor models, as an example. It does fine explaining the basics of querying with LINQ though.
so far i've made do by extracting the models from EFC 2E, and building out a simple console app to mess around with the models, but it's slow going and i'm feel like i'm jumping all over the place to find answers to questions
