It can be first a quick read so that you can spot what is interesting you right now and maybe keep in mind roughly what can be done even if you don't need it right now. It allows also to better know what to search if you want to look for some more advanced
tutorial on a particuliar topic.
Now it also likely depends quite a bit about what works best for you when learning ( I tend to dislike videos as I find most of them are not going directly enough to the point). Keeping notes or writing maybe a summary of what you learnt as if you wanted
to explain that to others in your team could perhaps also help ?
A prior knowledge of ADO.NET shouldn't make any difference as EF basically hides it entirely (unless you really need to get back at this level). A prior knownledge of EF 6 could help (though you have then to deal with what is not working the same way).
EF Core offers new features that won't be implemented in EF6 (such as alternate keys, batch updates, and mixed client/database evaluation in LINQ queries. But because it's a new code base, it also lacks some features that EF6 has.

Hi,
My personal preference is to always start with the product documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/ef/core/

Hi Alex9,
In addition, you could refer to below link for feature comparison between EF core and EF :
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/ef/efcore-and-ef6/
EF Core offers new features that won't be implemented in EF6 (such as alternate keys, batch updates, and mixed client/database evaluation in LINQ queries. But because it's a new code base, it also lacks some features that EF6 has.
Best Regards,
