Introduction

ASP.NET Core is a part of the .NET Core framework that is targeted at creating web apps. Using it, you can create both frontend (such as Razor or Blazor) and backend (such as Web API or gRPC) applications. However, in this chapter, you will be focusing on creating RESTful Web APIs. Creating a new web service for the first time might sound like a daunting task, but don't worry too much; for most scenarios, there is a template to get you started. In this chapter, you will create a few Web APIs using ASP.NET Core 6.0.
