Personally I must say that I really admire who ever decided to push the developement of the Entity Framework. Finally something extra ordinary good happened to us developers that neither have the time nor the knowledge to deep dive into all aspects of our jobs.
I did a long time ago come to the conclusion that I would never ever be the kind of developer I want to be. I want to know it all and I want to be the best. Sadly with the release of the .NET framework knowing it all became impossibly. It was hard before but since then the framework has grown even more! Entity Framework can't replace working within a well thought through Domain Model but it sure helps me in my everyday work. I just finished a drafting a part of our application that took month and a half to get up and running the first time (I was not involved in the first version). It took me 2 days to come up with a pretty much solid version 2 of that same part. Now all I have to do is add some business validation rules which will take another 2 days.
Version 1 = 2 Developers * 30 working days
Version 2 = 1 Developers * 4 working days
You do the math!
So cheers Microsoft for an extremely nice way to handle the whole business logic! No more trying to track spelling mistakes!
