This is huge. This will help me better understand the inner workings of EF and better design my applications.
As a reminder, Asp.net MVC is already Open source. Going through the code helped me understand how model binding work.
Earlier I was nHibernate guy. Now I have totally switched to EF and this news further solidifies my leanings towards EF.
EF source code can be downloaded at http://entityframework.codeplex.com. It can be downloaded as a GIT repository. I was actually expecting a Zip file. But again, I can live with git based download too. 🙂
