Who Should Attend?

If you are a C# web developer, at some point you are probably going to need Web APIs. If you are a front-end developer using Angular, React, JavaScript, jQuery, etc. you should be familiar with how to create Web APIs so you can consume them effectively. If you are already developing Web APIs using MVC, you are sure to learn something new in this course especially about the Minimal APIs. If you are a development manager or a QA person who works with developers creating Web APIs, after attending this course you will be better equipped to work with those developers.

2-Day Hands-On Training Seminar: Learn to Use the Web API in .NET 6/7
February 27-28, 2023
9:00AM – 5:00PM (Central)
Level: Intermediate

If you need other developers to access data within your private domain, Web APIs are the best way to accomplish this. If you are developing Angular, React, or any other front-end software that needs to interact with data, then you are going to need to use Web APIs. Using Web APIs, you write code behind a firewall to access your private data and expose just what you want to the outside world. With Microsoft you can write Web APIs using MVC controllers and the Minimal Web APIs. You are going to learn both of these techniques in this course.

In this 2-Day VSLive! Seminar you are provided with an overview of Web APIs in general. You then build an MVC Web API project and learn to consume Web APIs using Postman and Swagger. You learn how to configure the project to return different types of data such as JSON and XML. The basics of routing and how to add logging and exception handling is illustrated. You then start building a set of CRUD APIs to allow a developer to interact with your database. You are going to see how to call your APIs via JavaScript/jQuery and how CORS is added to allow cross-domain access. Finally, the basics of securing your Web APIs is covered.

Starting with .NET 6, Microsoft released a new method for creating Web APIs called the Minimal Web API. This new approach is simpler than MVC. In this course, you learn how to use these minimal calls and how best to architect them to provide scalability and ease of maintenance. You are provided with an overview of the new Minimal Web APIs paradigm. You build a Minimal Web API project and learn to consume Web APIs using Postman and Swagger. You learn the standard methods for getting, inserting, updating, and deleting data. You then start building a set of CRUD APIs to allow a developer to interact with your database. You then build a set of classes that make working with minimal APIs much easier. You are going to see how to call your APIs via JavaScript/jQuery and how CORS is added to allow cross-domain access. Finally, the basics of securing your minimal Web APIs is covered.

Join Paul D. Sheriff, one of the best instructors in the industry, on your journey to becoming a C# Web API developer using MVC and Minimal APIs.
