This session will cover a variety of ways API can be used to expose your application’s data through universally-supported protocols.

Web API’s new release offers some great new features while maintaining the original direction towards making REST and HTTP services easier in .NET. Have you created a few websites that make use of AJAX calls to Web API controllers and wondered if there was a way to use the same sort of approach in a modern app or a mobile app? Have a client who needs a mobile app that’s supported in all the major smartphone platforms? Want to use Web API in a Single-Page Application (SPA)? Need to add authentication to your existing Web API? These and other topics will be explored in this intermediate session on Web API, which will cover a variety of ways it can be used to expose your application’s data through universally-supported (or endlessly extensible) protocols.

You will learn:

  • How to build secure HTTP services using ASP.NET Web API that can reach a broad set of clients including browsers and mobile devices
  • About the new features coming in the next release of ASP.NET Web API
