Concocting an MVC, Data Services and Entity Framework solution for Azure
Often, technologies are demonstrated in their own little vacuums. In this session we'll put together a solution that combines Windows Azure, SQL Azure, Data Services, MVC and Entity Framework so that you can see how to create a solution completely hosted in the cloud. more>>.

Architecting Smarter Apps with Entity Framework
EF4 introduced new features that opens up the possibilities to build smarter, more flexible and maintainable applications. When combining the new POCO support, the IObjectSet interface, foreign key support and more, you can now create persistence ignorant entities, repositories, unit tests and other key development patterns. In this session we'll take a look at the new features as we evolve a classically anti-pattern rich demo app into one that leverages the more agile patterns. You'll leave with ideas about how you can integrate Entity Framework into your applications without giving up the coding practices you've worked so hard to develop. more>>

Tips & Tricks for Squeezing Performance from Entity Framework
ADO.NET Entity Framework can cut down your development time but if you don't know what you're going to pay a performance price at runtime. There are a host of design time and run time patterns you can follow to make your Entity Framework based applications run significantly faster not only when interacting with the database, but also when working with in-memory entities. In this session we'll look at the performance traps that many developers unknowingly fall into then learn the tricks you need to know to get the best performance you can from Entity Framework whether you are working locally, in the cloud or a combination of both. more>>
