**Presenter:** Jeff Semmens **Task:** Model and access data as objects in .NET without designing the database first **Approach:** Use InterSystems Entity Framework   Description: Come and experience how you can design your database model in .NET and evolve it over time by leveraging the Entity Framework. Problem: Current bindings require database-first design. I cannot design my model in .NET. Solution: The Entity Framework is an object-relational mapping framework that allows data-oriented applications to model and access their data as objects in .NET. Database- first is still supported but will fade away in future releases.   Content related to this session, including slides, video and additional learning content can be found here.
