Hi @JonPSmith , how are you?

Thank you for a wonderful book on the EF Core.

As EF Core 3.0 is GA now, will you be releasing -

  1. A new edition of your book that refers to EF Core 3.0 and
  2. Updated version of this GitHub repo that works with EF Core 3.0 ?

Thank you.

H @IoTFier,

At this time I'm not going to update the book or the GitHub repo to EF Core 3.0, but in the coming months I will be writing articles on my web site https://www.thereformedprogrammer.net/ about the parts that have changes.

EF Core 3.0 is a big change underneath, but very small changes to the interfaces (see breaking changes). That means most of the book is still relevant. The two big changes are:

  • Support for CosmosDb. I have already done one article on that and plan to do another one now 3.0 is out.
  • Chapter 13, which is gives an example of tuning EF Core database performance, is out of date. I plan to write an article on that too.

At the moment I'm updating five of my open-source libraries to work with EF Core 3.0

That's a lot of questions, but I don't have any answers because each one is a major topic, especially database backup/restore. You will need to research each one yourself as I charge, and I'm not currently available as I have a full load with a client and trying to update libraries to NET Core 3.0

Thank you @JonPSmith. I have cleaned up those from this git hub issue.
