Kim has a new post that summarizes some of our experience using the Entity Framework in a real client project.
He also includes some code and concepts for a repository interface that we used to make it more managable and extendable.
Read the post for all of the details, but our bottom line is
"To summarize, I am basically a happy camper with the Entity Framework. It has a some rough edges, but nothing we haven’t been able to work around."
In order to make it easier for developers to familiarize themselves with the Entity Framework, we have put together a list of some of the available resources that we found to be most useful in getting up to speed with the new tools and technologies. You can download it from our web site at
