Maybe it's just me but I find the current version hard going. Admittedly the subject is fairly complex and she obviously knows it inside-out but I somehow feel it could be explained better. Dunno - maybe just down to how the book is organised?

>>OK. As above don't let the detail overwhelm you (g).
>>(a) It covers 'Linq to Entities' (including method based queries) and 'Entity Sql' - knowing only one of these will be enough 90% of the time.
>>(b) Although whole sections of the book are devoted to tweaking the EDMX models you will probably find few occasions where this is needed in practice.
>>(c) EF4 will also optionally give you EntityObjects with disconnected change tracking so another whole subject is moot.

>>TBH I'm still working through the deeper parts of the book - but given the changes which will be in EF4 I'm not sure it's worth it.....
