Entity Framework Vs MVC [closed]

Question

I am a Asp.net developer and due to new advancements I am confused between MVC and Entity Framework.I would like to know which is the best option to study first EF or MVC

Answer 1

The two are completely different and have different purposes.

MVC (Model View Controller) is a programmatical pattern used for building applications. Microsoft have a a framework called ASP.Net MVC which is their implementation of it for building MVC websites.

Entity Framework (EF) is an ORM (Object Relational Mapping) tool. This is used primarily for simplifying the data access layer of an application. This can be used in conjunction with ASP.Net MVC.

Personally, I would read about ASP.Net MVC first. This is because you can then use any one of several ORMs with it, including NHibernate and Linq2SQL, the latter being very lightweight and a perfect place to start.
