Currently, 8 of the 10 videos on Code First and EF 4.1 I have already created for MSDN are online but they are not easy to find.

Three of them are on the msdn.com/data/videos page. The others have not been placed there yet although you can find links to the videos at msdn.com/data/ef and then from the videos to the articles.

Here are direct links to all of the videos and related articles that are currently online.

Samples?

I have provided C# and VB samples to go with each section. The samples are already online for the first three and are available from the pages with the articles, not the videos.

Monday May 2, 2011: There seems to be a problem with the videos on MSDN’s website. I have contacted MSDN. They are aware of the problem and trying to resolve it. Sorry. I just created the videos and have nothing to do with the hosting. 😉 Will modify this blog post when the problem has been resolved.  All better now! (8pm EST May 2)
