Udemy Web API Development Using MVC and .NET 6/7

Learn Web API, MVC, Security, CRUD, CORS, Swagger, and Reusability are all covered in this course.

Description​

If you need other developers to access data within your private domain, Web APIs are the best way to accomplish this. Using Web APIs, you write code behind a firewall to access your data and expose just what you want to the outside world. With Microsoft you can write Web APIs using the popular MVC paradigm and this is what you are going to learn in this course. Even if you have never created a Web API before, this course guides you step-by-step through the entire process.

In this course 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 build 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.

All the demos you are shown during this course are backed up with a set of labs for you to perform. Walking through these labs step-by-step ensures that you understand the concepts illustrated in each lesson. You are going to see approximately 88 demos, be asked over 65 questions, and perform over 75 hands-on labs.
