Focus on the code-first approach to developing a database with EFCore 10. Taking the code-first approach allows the entire database to be built and maintained in code so there is never a situation in which you cannot restore the database schema. Additionally, the code-first approach creates an entirely transparent record of changes to the database that is easily tracked in your source control. Emphasis throughout the book is on leaving you well positioned to architect and lead data development efforts for your organization.
