A beginner's first practical step in using REST with ASP.NET Core to create the backend for a dynamic web and mobile-oriented business application.About This VideoFollow best practices and explore the techniques to achieve a reactive, scalable web serviceUsing the Repository Pattern and Dependency Injection in a web backendLeverage ASP.NET Core to quickly implement RESTful endpointsDescriptionREST is an architectural style that tackles the challenges of building scalable web services. In today's connected world, APIs have taken a central role on the web. APIs provide the fabric through which systems interact, and REST has become a common style for APIs. The depth, breadth, and ease of use of ASP.NET Core makes it a breeze for developers to work with it to build robust Web APIs. This video course takes you through designing RESTful web services and leverages the ASP.NET Core to implement these services.Starting from the basic philosophy behind REST, you'll go through the first steps of designing and implementing an enterprise-grade RESTful web service. Taking a practical approach, each chapter provides code samples that you can apply to your own circumstances. It brings forth the power of the latest .NET Core release, working with ASP.NET Core. It then goes beyond the use of the framework to explore approaches to tackling resilience, security, and scalability concerns.You will start with the basics of REST and end with building a .NET Application for your RESTful web service.All the code and supporting files for this course are available on GitHub at:https://github.com/PacktPublishing/RESTful-Web-services-with-ASP.NET-CoreWhat you will learnExplore basic REST principlesBuild an ASP.NET core project using Visual Studio 2017Work with different environments such as development and productionImplement a service interface to read, manipulate, and delete dataExtend API functionality with more featuresDeploy the WebAPIWho should take this courseThis video is intended for those who want to learn to build RESTful web services with the latest .NET Core Version.
