ASP.NET Core Web API

In the course ASP-NET Core Web API from SpiralTrain developers and architects learn to create flexible and interoperable RESTful services, addressing key concepts such as routing, serialization, versi

Intro to ASP.NET Core Web API

The course ASP.NET Core Web API starts with an overview of the architecture of REST Services, in particular the Web API. Standard features of REST such as resources with IDs, URL patterns and standard HTTP methods are discussed. Attention is also paid to the creation and structure of a Web API project in Visual Studio.

Routing and Controllers

Next routing in the ASP.NET Core Web API is covered, where the definition of routes, routing parameters, route configuration and routing attributes are treated. Attention is also paid to controllers and the mapping of routes to controller actions.

Request and Response Handling

Then the course ASP.NET Core Web API covers request and response handling and the implementation of controller actions that produce responses based on incoming requests. Furthermore, model and parameter binding, content negotiation and the processing of HTTP status codes are treated.

Data Validation

Part of the ASP.NET Core Web API course also includes data validation and error handling. Model binding, model validation and validation errors are discussed. Error responses, exception filters and the implementation of global error handling are covered as well.

Security

Security and authentication mechanisms in the Web API are also part of the course content. Topics include various authentication mechanisms, role base authorization, the implementation of authentication with JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and the protection of sensitive data with HTTPS.

Data Access

Finally attention is paid to data access with the Web API, the Open Data Protocol (OData) and the Entity Framework. Explained is how OData CRUD operations can be performed on Entities based on Model classes.

Audience Course ASP.NET Core Web API

The course ASP.NET Core Web API is intended for Web Developers who want to understand and develop REST APIs with ASP.NET Core.
