What you will learn
- Build Web APIs with .NET Core
- Publish Web APIs in Azure
- Use Azure DevOps to configure continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD)
- Develop a Web API using Minimal APIs
Course Description
Learn how to develop Minimal APIs with ASP.NET Core from scratch with this amazing course.
We are going to see the entire life cycle of developing a Web API, from creating the solution, developing the endpoints, working on resource manipulation, to putting it into production in Azure and IIS.
In this course we will do a project which you will be able to publish and show as part of your portfolio.
We will also learn how to use Azure DevOps to configure a Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery pipeline, to be able to publish your projects from their source code in Github, Bitbucket, or any other GIT repository provider.
Some of the topics we will see are:
Creation of REST Web APIs
Create a database
Use Entity Framework Core to read, insert, update, and delete records from a database
Create a user system so that our clients can register and log in to the Web API
We will use Json Web Tokens (JWT) for authentication
Claims-based authorization, so that only some users can use certain endpoints
Using cache to have a faster application
Using Redis for distributed cache
We will use GraphQL so that customers can indicate exactly what they want to consult
Web APIs are fundamental in modern web development. Since they allow us to centralize and protect the logic of our solutions. In addition, it is in a Web API that we typically have access to a central database with which all your users can communicate. Whether you build a social network, a delivery application, or even an office app, a Web API allows you to work on the back-end of mobile applications (Android, iOS, MAUI, etc.), web (React, Angular, Blazor, Vue, etc.), desktop, among others.

This Course is amazing. Previously I only knew how to use REST API, I did not realize that there are such many API Architecture beside REST API, such as Minimal APIs and GraphQL.

The course's name is "Building Minimal APIs with ASP.NET Core 9 and EF Core" and yet there are numerous mentions, information on slides, etc. of ASP.NET Core 8. The course needs to be updated with fixes for all of these

This is a huge improvement over the other courses I've taken with this instructor. I did a Blazor course with him a long time ago. He knows what he's talking about, but it was very fast and difficult to keep up. However, in his newer courses, he listened to students' feedback and has greatly improved. Thanks!

This course not only strengthened the fundamentals of Minimal APIs and Entity Framework Core, but also taught me new things. The instructor explains the topics clearly and understandably. The practical examples were extremely helpful and gave me a solid understanding of how to apply them to real-world scenarios. Whether you are a beginner or experienced, you can gain a lot from this course. Definitely worth 5 stars! I am also sure that it will provide great benefits to the projects I will work on.

I enjoyed the fast pace as I needed to be brought up to speed on these concepts quickly.

I have just finished this course, it has been an excellent course to learn a different way of working with .net, in this case minimal APIs.
By Mi Kelor on 7/19/2024
Still early on, so Introductory Topics are a bit too introductory. :)

Learnt so much things in this course. Nothing left aside in ASP .NET CORE Minimal API and more. Detailed explanations and justifications. Pros and cons are discussed when existing. The style teaching is very engaging. Thanks Felipe.

I am very happy with this course so far. I have only just finished Section 3 but I have already learnt far more than I expected. If I continue to learn at the same rate, this will be the best 20 Euros I have every spent on a software turorial.

As usual great course from Felipe. Great explanation from beginning to advanced.
