I am SO happy that the Entity Framework (EF) is coming as part of .Net 3.5 SP1. Having it baked into the Framework and not some optional, additional add-on is huge. This move goes a long way in resolving my product support and lifetime fears. Of course, just because it's baked in doesn't mean it won't be killed in a couple future .Net versions, but it's less likely... IMHO it takes it to a whole new level [buzzword alert]
In any case, this is a nine minute intro to the Entity Framework video. It's pretty much what you would expect in a nine minute intro video (except AdventureWorks and Northwind is NOT used ;), but if you're new to EF this is a very cool example of the EF Design Surface and a quick console code sample.
Dude, where's the link to the video?
