In this session, Phil will show you the power of building RESTful services with ASP.NET Core. We start at the top, with the philosophy of .NET 8 and ASP.NET Core 8. I then cover building and configuring the web host, dependency injection and the options pattern, environmental awareness and configuration, logging with Serilog, and controllers and routing. Phil will then cover explicit and implicit model binding and validation, followed by detailing functionality added when using the ApiController attribute, including binding source parameter inference and how to customize the provided behavior. The next major topics that he covers are versioning APIs, documentation with Open API, and making sure the two work well together.

You will learn:

• ASP.NET Core RESTful services
• Versioning and Documenting RESTful services
• Foundational ASP.NET Core
