I am working with VS 2008 and I am about to start a new web based development. I am wondering if Entity Framework is a good option for a web development and if the time invested in learing E.F. will be a good investment in the short term ( the web project is 4 months long ).
Let's say I have a 2 weeks period to learn EF, before having an impact in the project.

Solution 1

If you're asking this, then you probably aren't familiar with EF. That means there's going to be a learning curve. If you think that the schedule is robust enough to absorb the learning curve (including at least one project restart due to "lessons learned"), go for it. If not, avoid it.

Solution 2

Personally I like EF, if you already have a good grasp of LINQ then the leaning curve wont be very steep, as long as you don't want to do something very fancy.
