2-Day Hands-On Training Seminar: Learn to Produce Effective Web APIs with ASP.NET 5
September 28-29, 2021
9:00AM – 5:00PM (Central)
Level: Intermediate / Advanced

Web APIs drive the most popular and influential Web and mobile apps, making the developer build a robust web API a developer in demand. Get started creating your own with ASP.NET 5 and soon to be released .NET 6, the open-source framework for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

First, learn about attribute routing, the preferred method of handling HTTP requests in ASP.NET 5, then learn how to set up controllers, connect them to the data model, set up validation for incoming requests, and configure the HTTP responses. Chris Woodruff also shows how to implement CRUD operations on the SQL database server where the data is stored. An advanced development section provides insights on using a repository layer and dependency injection to make your API more abstract and testing projects with tools such as MSTest and xUnit. Demonstrations on optimization and caching show how to improve the performance of your APIs.

Follow along with Chris to learn all these concepts and more, and complete the Web API shown in the course: a Music eCommerce engine for administering a music catalog, creating and viewing customer orders, and assigning orders to sales reps.

You will learn:

  • About HTTP, REST, and Web APIs that drive most of the world's web and mobile apps
  • About ASP.NET 5, where it came from, and how to start using it for web and API development
  • How to use ASP.NET 5 Web API's built-in dependency injection to maintain more robust and more comfortable projects
  • How to secure and communicate with your Web API consumers with encryption
  • How to work with multiple data back end storage in your API along with data caching
  • How to test and debug your ASP.NET 5 Web API solution
  • Advanced architecture techniques in ASP.NET 5/6 Web API

Prerequisites:

  • C# and .NET Core, .NET 5 or .NET Framework
