Repositories can be employed to segregate applications from the complexities of data access, making code easier to maintain. In this video, Jeremy McPeak starts by explaining the heart of the repository pattern: the CRUD principle. Jeremy then demonstrates variations on this implementation while cautioning against potential pattern violations. Following along in Visual Studio, novice C# developers will learn how to define an interface to implement concrete repository classes, correctly implement repository patterns, and create specialized repositories.
