About a year ago, one of the development managers I worked with sent me an email requesting help with a stored procedure that was broken. When I open the stored proc, I found ten pages of tangled, twisted spaghetti.
In my reply I suggested that he forget the stored spaghetti he had cooked up and start preparing dishes using Microsoft's Entity Framework.
Now it's even easier to learn Entity Framework. At Pluralsight, Julie Lerman offers several courses on the framework.
