There are new great things, but there are also pieces you may have grown accustomed to that are no longer (or not yet) in EF Core. We talk about the move to open source, options we have, some best practices and some great tips to help you keep your project on track and decide what the right strategy may be for your team.

Dotnet Core runs on a whole bunch of different platforms but not everything is the same between platforms, how can we adjust for different platforms? In Linux and OSX we use sensible line endings while on Windows we use two characters. File path separators are also different. Join the monsters as they look at how to handle that.

If you have complex object graphs that you'd like to use in your prototype or test data, chances are you have a swamp load of muck to write to wire those objects up, especially if you want your data to look realistic.
In this episode of the ASP.NET Monsters, James walks us through creating sample data in more complicated scenarios where properties need special weighting of random distributions, where setter methods need to be invoked, or where you need to compose properties and object graphs. All of this is done with the GenFu library.
See our intro to GenFu here.
GenFu is an opensource project created and curated by the Monsters on GitHub.
You can try GenFu out live on our sample site.
