Course Description

Welcome to Crash Course on Creating API with ASP .Net Core
This course is all about creating a functional Async API using .Net Core and Entity Framework. Step by step, we will set up a complete API to handle each of the operations in a multi-table database. We'll develop all necessary entities, Data Transfer Objects, Interfaces, use dependency injection to inject services for our app, design fully MVC structure, map entities to DTO object with automapper, turn our Controllers into fully functional API controllers, handle relationships, keys and foreign keys in our database tables and Models, use Entity Framework as a back end utilizing Code-First integration, seed the database with dummy data... you get the picture!
So in the next several hours, you will go from an API novice to a developer capable of developing - and understanding - basic API structure,
Get excited to learn a ton of new material and dive into the new world of .net core. This is a relatively fast-paced course, designed with a busy self-learner in mind. If you like to be shown a concept and then move on to another concept to learn more, then this course is for you. No time is wasted.
Everything is coded on camera, including some mistakes, both intentional and unintentional. This allows us to go over some concepts that would be hard to explain and understand, such as Reference Loop Handling, AutoMapping set up, possible problems with DTO objects and others.
So buckle up, get a big cup of coffee, and get ready to finally understand what all this fuss about API's and REST is about.
Let's codeWho this course is for:
  • Self learner who prefers faster paced course
  • C# programmer who wants to dive into creating API's
  • ASP .Net developer who wants to build web-facing API

Instructor Details

I am a professional computer programmer for a national insurance company. I am versed in variety of programming languages, technologies, and frameworks. Currently using mostly SQL and .Net.
I have a Bachelor's Degree from City University of Seattle.
I first came in contact with programming back in the good 'ol days of Visual Basic 6 and Visual Basic for Applications. Manipulating Access databasea was so much fun!
I moved onto Web development in early 2000's, using HTML and CSS, later added PHP. It was then when I realized I really enjoyed the coding of the back end much more than the design part...and that joy of coding stayed with me ever since.
I LOVE coding, and I LOVE doing exercises and projects in my free time. I am hoping my courses help you to better understand the programming principles and give you a good starting point for your further adventure in computer programming,

Well explained. Excellent for somebody like me. I am trying to learn Entity Framework-code first

By Dustin Cotten

Very straightforward and easy to follow. This is my first actual API I'm going to be using at work and I'm familiar with MVC and .NET core at a basic level. I wanted something more explicit to follow and the course is very straightforward.

I would also take a look at the MDN walk-through as I think the database DI is simpler to follow and change when not done in the model context. However, I like the other design choices and I think they cleaned up the controller code.

I bought the course to get a quick overview of creating API with .net Core. This course delivers. Well paced, and goes over all necessary concepts and features that are needed in well designed API. The project is great example, and easy to follow.

By Iordache Mihail-Madalin

Great course for learning the basics of a ASP.NET Core Web API by using generics and asynchronous methods. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to learn more about Web APIs or the Task-based Asynchronous Pattern in .NET.
