Newbie learning EF or ADO.NET?

Question

IT education

Is it possible to learn EF without knowing ADO.NET?

Answer 1

You can, but knowledge of ado.net will not hurt

Answer 2

Implement CRUD functionality through ADO.NET first.
If you know SQL, then in half a day you will understand the basics.
And then rewrite it all in EF. There is also nothing complicated if you use the basic functionality. At the same time, you will appreciate in practice how much easier it is to use ORM.

Answer 3

EF is easier to use and easier to learn too, I think. But with EF it becomes difficult when an application needs to cope with a large load of requests, you have to get out, invent something, so pure ADO.NET is most often used there.
