This course introduces Entity Framework Core for data access and object-relational mapping. Entity Framework Core provides benefits such as the ability to work with databases using .NET objects without the concern for underlying database tables. This leads to less code for data access and improved performance. 

You’ll begin with the workflows of Entity Framework Core—reverse engineering and migrations. Next, you’ll learn model configuration and relationships. Then, you’ll cover various methods for querying and saving data. You’ll also learn about change tracking and its relationship with queries. Finally, you’ll learn about logging and testing.

Entity Framework Core simplifies app development. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to improve code maintainability and concentrate on business logic by generating SQL, materializing results, and performing other tasks. You’ll have a good understanding of Entity Framework Core, which will improve your productivity and efficiency on your development journey.

# Simple logging

In EF Core, logging enables us to obtain information about the SQL queries we execute. For instance, logging can diagnose a slow query or a query failing to return the desired results.

**Simple logging** is a form of logging in EF Core that requires minimal configuration and no additional NuGet packages. It provides an easy means to obtain logs while developing applications. We’ll demonstrate using the C# project below:
