I have almost no experience with EF and I am going to start a new project. I am faced with the choice of where to start creating the domain model from the base or from the code.

What are the advantages of each of these approaches and are they anyway or is it a matter of taste?

  • if I'm not mistaken, the latest version of EF removed the Database First - Grundy feature

  • In new projects I would recommend starting with CF. - AK ♦
