My newest course is live on Pluralsight.com. This one is about using the new data migrations feature of Entity Framework Code First. These were first introduced with EF 4.3. Migrations lets you update your database schema when your model changes rather than having code first completely drop and recreate the database. This lets you retain data and any other existing database objects that aren’t described in the model (e.g., triggers, functions, etc.)
