What is a Web API?

A web API (Application Programming Interface) acts as a bridge, allowing communication between a web server or browser and other applications. This course focuses on the web development concept of APIs, particularly within the context of web applications.

Course Curriculum:

• Day 1: Introduction & Getting Started with .NET 5 Web APIs - Parameter Passing Mechanism: Learn the fundamentals of building .NET 5 Web APIs and how to effectively pass parameters.
• Day 2: CRUD Using Database First Approach in EF Core - Dispose - using - IDisposable - Dependency Injection: Implement CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations using EF Core's Database First approach. Understand crucial concepts like Dispose, the using statement, IDisposable, and Dependency Injection for efficient resource management.
• Day 3: HTTP Request and Response - Status Codes - IAction Result - Async Actions - Scaffolding: Master HTTP request and response handling, including understanding status codes. Learn to use IAction Result for flexible responses, implement async actions for improved performance, and leverage scaffolding to accelerate development.
• Day 4: Server Side Validations And Custom Validators - DB First Approach Changes - Circular Ref Problem - 2 Solutions - Newtonsoft Json: Implement robust server-side validation with custom validators. Address common challenges with the DB First Approach, including the circular reference problem, and learn two effective solutions. Work with Newtonsoft Json for data serialization.
• Day 5: XML Serialization - Swagger Documentation - Exception Handling Action Level And Globally: Utilize XML serialization for data exchange. Generate interactive Swagger documentation to easily explore your API. Implement effective exception handling at both the action level and globally for a resilient API.
• Day 6: ASP .Net User Identity - Initial Setup For Authentication And Authorization: Set up the foundation for user identity management in your ASP.NET Core application. Learn the initial steps for authentication and authorization.
• Day 7: Create User - Login - Logout - Create Roles - Authorization - Assign Default Role Dynamically: Implement complete user management features, including user creation, login, logout, and role management. Learn to assign roles and implement authorization to control access to resources.
• Day 8: Complete JWT Authentication And Authorization: Implement JWT (JSON Web Token) for secure authentication and authorization. This provides a robust and scalable approach to securing your APIs.

Why Choose ASP.NET Core Web APIs?

ASP.NET Core is the modern, cross-platform framework for building web applications and APIs. It seamlessly integrates with popular client-side frameworks like Blazor, Angular, React, and Bootstrap. Built upon the foundation of ASP.NET 4.x, it offers a leaner, more modular architecture.

ASP.NET Core Web API is ideal for creating RESTful APIs that can be accessed by a wide range of clients – browsers, mobile devices, and other applications. HTTP is a powerful and versatile platform for building APIs, offering simplicity, flexibility, and broad compatibility. Its ubiquity ensures your APIs can reach virtually any platform.
