Riassunto

Stop Fighting the DbContext: Master Clean, Testable, Scalable .NET Data Access

Tired of wrestling with the DbContext? Does your Entity Framework Core code feel brittle, hard to test, and resistant to change? You're not alone. The default way of using EF Core often leads to tightly coupled, messy data access layers that slow down development and make scaling a nightmare.

Breakthrough Your EF Core Struggles

It’s time to move beyond simple tutorials and adopt the design patterns that transform mediocre code into engineering excellence. This book, Entity Framework Core Design Patterns: Stop Fighting the DbContext, is your essential guide to building high-quality, professional-grade .NET applications.

We cut through the complexity and deliver practical, battle-tested techniques used by senior developers to manage sophisticated data layers. You’ll learn how to separate concerns, enforce domain rules, and make your application logic a joy to maintain, not a burden.

What's Inside: Readers Should Expect

• Repository and Unit of Work Patterns: Discover how to implement these foundational patterns correctlywith EF Core to achieve true persistence ignorance.
• The Specification Pattern: Learn to build reusable, composable, and testable query logic that keeps your application code clean.
• Decoupling the DbContext: See practical strategies for isolating the DbContext from your application services, making it easy to mock and test.
• Advanced Query Strategies: Master techniques like mediator patterns and CQRS (Command Query Responsibility Segregation) to structure complex reads and writes beautifully.
• Dependency Injection Mastery: Understand how to properly wire up your data access services for maximum flexibility and control.

The Benefits: Your Code Will Be...

• Clean and Organized: Stop seeing your application logic entangled with EF Core specific details.
• Easily Testable: Write simple, fast unit tests without hitting the database, drastically improving code quality.
• Scalable and Maintainable: Make changes confidently, knowing that your architecture supports growth and refactoring.
• Professional Grade: Elevate your coding skills and deliver robust solutions worthy of enterprise applications.

Who This Book Is For

This guide is crafted for mid-to-senior level .NET developers and software architects who have a basic understanding of Entity Framework Core but are struggling to use it effectively in large, complex, or test-heavy applications. If you've ever thought, "There has to be a better way to do this," this book is your answer.
