Complete Guide to .NET Web API

Learn Web API in ASP.NET CORE in Depth and Consumed with Blazor WebAssembly.

Why take this course?

Web API is one of the most import application frameworks based on ASP.NET Core platform. Almost all applications need to depend on a backend API based on platforms like ASP.NET core. Web API is also one of the most stable application frameworks that don't change as often or as much as the other application frameworks within ASP.NET Core. Mastering Web API in .NET 5 will be a big advantage in your career development. This course will help you master Web API in ASP.NET CORE 5 inside out.

Blazor WebAssembly is Microsoft's latest application framework that makes running C# in browsers possible. Hence, you no longer need to heavily depends on Javascripts in the front end. This course will also get you started with Blazor WebAssembly. Our Blazor WebAssembly as our front end app will consume the Web API endpoints that we create in this course.

With 16 sections and 16 hours of video content, the course covers the following topics:

- What is Web API

- RESTful API Design

- ASP.NET Core Platform Basics

- Web API Routing, Model Binding, Model Validation, Filter Pipeline

- Web API versioning, OpenAPI / Swagger Documentation

- Entity Framework Core Basics

- Create a bug tracker Web API

- Testing Web API with PowerShell and Postman

- Repository Pattern

- Create a Blazor WebAssembly App to consume the Web API

- Custom Token Authentication

- JWT Token Authentication

- Using Identity Server 4 in-depth

- Proper Web Development Architecture

By the end of the course: you will master Web API in ASP.NET CORE 5 inside out. You will not only be able to create Web API endpoints for simple scenarios, but also know all the technical aspects of Web API including Web API security in-depth that will help you succeed in job interview as well as in your current work. Hence, this course is a complete course that will take you from zero to hero in understanding and using Web API in ASP.NET Core 5. If you have worked with ASP.NET Core Web API and are looking to fill in the gaps, this course will server you very well too. This course will also get you started with Blazor WebAssembly.
