I assume you're using MVC, so I have found the tutorials here extremely helpful: http://www.asp.net/mvc http://www.asp.net/mvc The tutorials will include a general intro to the Entity Framework.

I would also suggest keeping an open attitude (I'm referring to your use of the word "stuck"). I don't have a lot of experience developing outside of the MS framework, but I find reflexive distaste for MS to often be a case of "strong opinions, weakly held."
