Description

The .NET framework is getting better and better and more important in the web development world nowadays.

Almost every request I get for new web development projects is asking for knowledge in .NET, including Web API and Entity Framework Core.

So, knowing the fundamentals of back end web development with .NET can be highly beneficial to your career. And that’s where this course comes in.

In a short period of time, you will learn how to set up a Web API, make restful calls to this Web API and also save data persistently with Entity Framework Core, Code-First Migration, a SQL Server & SQLite database, and all three types of relationships in this database.

We will get right to the point, you will see every single step of writing the necessary code and by the end of this course, you will have what it takes to say ‘yes’ to all the .NET project requests from any recruiter.

The only tool you need in the beginning is Visual Studio Code which is available for free.

We will use Visual Studio Code for our implementations and make calls to the Web API with the help of Swagger UI - an interface that lets you consume the API out-of-the-box, thanks to the latest version of the .NET framework.

Later, we will also utilize SQL Server Express and the SQL Server Management Studio to manage our database. These are also available for free.

Later, we will utilize the free SQL Server Express with SQL Server Management Studio to manage our database. We will also have a quick look at SQLite, so that you know how to use any database you want.

The back end application we’re going to build is a small text-based role-playing game where different users can register (we’re going to use JSON web tokens for authentication) and create their own characters like a mage or a knight, add some skills and a weapon, and also let the characters fight against each other to see who is the best of them all.


What You Will Learn

Introduction

  • Create your first Web API call in less than 10 minutes

  • Initialize a Git repository for your source control

Web API

  • The Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern

  • Create models and controllers

  • Attribute routing (with parameters)

  • The HTTP request methods GET, POST, PUT & DELETE

  • Best practices for your Web API like a ServiceResponse class and Data-Transfer-Objects (DTOs)

  • Map your models with AutoMapper

Entity Framework Core

  • Object-Relational-Mapping

  • Code-First Migration

  • SQL Server Express

  • How to use a DataContext and a proper ConnectionString

  • All previous HTTP requests with Entity Framework Core to save your data in a SQL Server & SQLite database

  • Data Seeding: Insert data with a migration programmatically

Authentication

  • Token Authentication with JSON Web Tokens

  • Claims

  • Secure controllers with the Authorize attribute

  • Add roles to the users

Advanced Relationships with Entity Framework Core

  • One-to-one relationships

  • One-to-many relationships

  • Many-to-many relationships

  • Include entities with Entity Framework Core

  • Get the proper relations between entities

More Than Just CRUD

  • Start automatic fights

  • Filter and order RPG characters by their highscore

Definitely a good introductory jumpstart course. This can be used for a developer to quickly hit the ground running with Web API authentication and basic api endpoints. I have learned a few good tips and tricks along the way.

Writing code is what drives me. Creating software out of nothing is a skill I truly am passionate about and I want to share this astonishing feeling of making stuff with you.

I started to learn several programming languages as a teenager and always wanted to create software ever since I first played a game on a Commodore 64. During my bachelor and master studies, I joined various companies, made desktop and web applications as well as video games professionally and was always anxious to improve my craft, which I have been doing for more than 15 years now.​

For me, the most important part of writing and teaching code is to have fun. If certain ways work for you and the results are maintainable and you have fun with your results, you're doing it the right way. I don't care if you always use your keyboard or switch to the mouse from time to time, so-called best practices are not always best or practical, I want to teach you to develop software in a way it works in the industry, a way it works for you and in a way that makes you happy.
