Generating Demo Data with EFCore and Bogus

Recording of my lectures at HTL Leonding 2021/22. You can find the course material on GitHub at https://github.com/rstropek/htl-leo-pro-5.

This week, we dive deeper into various aspects of Entity Framework Core. In the first hour, we learn how we can generate demo data for testing (manual and automated) with the Bogus library.
