Microsoft has created Entity Framework (short form EF) for helping developers to automate database related operations in C#, VB, C++ and other programming languages. Due to EF developers are not needed to do the lengthy ADO.NET programming as EF takes all its care.
EF helps developers in many ways like:
1. Less database related codes.
2. Fast development of projects.
3. Better transaction.
4. Testability improvements.
Here in this tutorial I will help you to get stated with Entity Framework.

OAuth is an open standard to authorize application to access user data from online servers without sharing user’s credentials.

Today nearly all top service providers like amazon, google, yahoo, twitter , facebook etc support OAuth and allow applications to access users data stored in their servers (on the approval of the users). The first version of OAuth known as OAuth 1.0 became live in April 2010 then the next version i.e. OAuth 2.0 came in October 2012. (more…)
