There is a list of some tutorials available in this question.

This is a useful Entity Framework forum.

For me, the most useful reference for learning about the Entity Framework when I started using it was Daniel Simmons' FAQ. Check it out!

Mike Taulty has a series of blog entries here that would be worth reading. But first - make sure you really, really want the complexity of EF; NHibernate, LINQ-to-SQL, etc make better answers in many cases. There are a number of issues with the EF approach (not least the forced base class and the much moire complicated xml - barely comprehensible).

I'm not saying don't use it: just make sure you need what it offers (at the price of complexity) first...
