ASP.NET Core Web API Development and Deployment

Modern software relies on robust APIs to connect applications and data seamlessly. This course provides a clear path for beginners to understand how these services are built, secured, and maintained in professional environments using written explanations and code-based exercises. You will transition from understanding basic web concepts to constructing fully functional APIs that follow industry standards for performance and reliability. By the end of this course, you will be able to handle the entire lifecycle of a web service, from initial project setup to automated cloud delivery. What you'll learn: - Understand the fundamental principles of RESTful architecture and web service design - Build scalable endpoints using modern ASP.NET Core patterns and dependency injection - Manipulate data efficiently using Data Transfer Objects and resource management - Implement automated testing to ensure code quality and prevent regressions - Configure CI/CD pipelines to automate application delivery to the cloud - Document APIs using OpenAPI standards for better developer collaboration - Apply middleware and modern authentication flows for secure service access The curriculum begins with essential terminology and foundational definitions before guiding you through endpoint creation, data manipulation, and professional deployment strategies. This course is designed for beginners who have basic programming knowledge and want to specialize in backend development. No prior experience with APIs or cloud deployment is required.
