Entity Framework Tutorial Basics（11）：Code First

Entity Framework supports three different development approaches to use entity framework in your application.

1. Code First
2. Model First
3. Database first

Code First:

In the Code First approach, you avoid working with visual model designer (EDMX) completely. You write your POCO classes first and then create database from these POCO classes.

Developers who follow the path of Domain-Driven Design (DDD) principles, prefer to begin by coding their domain classes first and then generating the database required to persist their data.
