October 8th / Julie Lerman, What's new with EF 4.0
10 Things to Look Forward to in Entity Framework 4
Have you been waiting with anticipation for the next version of Entity Framework ? There's a lot to see in the new EF4. From a much improved designer, to foreign key support, POCO, lazy loading and more. If you have been using EF, you'll want to see what's changed. If you have shunned EF, it's time to take another look. The list is long so we'll look at the 10 things that I find most noteworthy and are available. (Note that some new features won’t be available until Beta 2 is released so cross your fingers that it’s out in time for this presentation.)
