There are several of books out on EF4. There are large differences between CTP3 and CTP4.

The CTP4 came out in July, so is:

  • Pro Entity Framework 4.0 by Scott Klein (Paperback – 15 Mar 2010)
  • Entity Framework 4.0 Recipes: A Problem-Solution Approach (Expert’s Voice in .Net) by Larry Tenny and Zeeshan Hirani (Paperback – 19 May 2010)

Already obsolete?

The only real alternative would be:

  • Programming Entity Framework by Julia Lerman (Paperback – 19 Aug 2010)

But does this one cover CTP4?

    From glancing through it (it’s massive at 870 pages!) I would see: unfortunately not. I don’t seem to see any reference to “code-only” or “code-first” development strategies, nor is there any reference to the DbSet type used in the code-first approach.

    I guess since this code is still in CTP stage, it’s just too early for any printed books out there. I’m sure Julie Lerman’s third edition of Programming Entity Framework will feature it! 🙂
