Minimal API Development with ASP.NET Core

The ability to design and maintain an Application Programming Interface (API) is an important toolset for the modern web developer as it allows you to extend the accessibility of your software to external applications and other developers, leading to a more global software solution.

Through this course, you will understand how to create .NET 6 / .NET 7 workflows and tools for application development. You will learn to create ASP.NET Core API project with Visual Studio using the API template. Learn to build a full data-driven REST web API using cutting-edge technology as well as test and troubleshoot using Postman and Swagger. You will learn to create a database using entity framework core. Explore generic repository patterns and setup API documentation using SwaggerUI.

You will further understand the REST design principles and set up Identity Core for user authentication and authorization. Understand user authentication using JWT (JSON Web Tokens) and learn to implement Refresh Tokens Endpoint. This course also helps you understand how to use Data Transfer Objects (DTOs), AutoMapper and HTTP request filters.

By the end of the course, you will be able to put your newly learned skills in Minimal API with ASP.NET Core to practical use.

approach
Over eight hours of premium content, but smartly broken up to highlight a set of related activities based on each module in the application that is being built. We will also look at troubleshooting and debugging errors as we go along; implementing best practices; writing efficient logic and understanding why developers do things the way they do.
audience
This course can be taken by .NET Developers curious about developing Minimal APIs. To take this course, you will need to have some knowledge of Object-Oriented Programming and should have at least three months of experience in programming in C#. Even if you do not have much exposure to the .NET development stack, this course is very beginner-friendly and chock full of development tips.
