Minimal API Development with ASP.NET Core: Learn a new and modern way to build a RESTful API using ASP.NET Core's Minimal API engine

The ability to design and maintain an Application Programming Interface (API) is an important toolset for the modern web developer as it allows you to extend the accessibility of your software to external applications and other developers, leading to a more global software solution. Through this course, you will understand how to create .NET 6 / .NET 7 workflows and tools for application development. You will learn to create ASP.NET Core API project with Visual Studio using the API template. Learn to build a full data-driven REST web API using cutting-edge technology as well as test and troubleshoot using Postman and Swagger. You will learn to create a database using entity framework core. Explore generic repository patterns and setup API documentation using SwaggerUI. You will further understand the REST design principles and set up Identity Core for user authentication and authorization. Understand user authentication using JWT (JSON Web Tokens) and learn to implement Refresh Tokens Endpoint. This course also helps you understand how to use Data Transfer Objects (DTOs), AutoMapper and HTTP request filters. By the end of the course, you will be able to put your newly learned skills in Minimal API with ASP.NET Core to practical use.
