Building Scalable and Maintainable APIs with ASP.NET Core
Spencer Schneidenbach
This workshop is all about implementing a scalable, testable, and robust API solution using ASP.NET Core and C#. We’ll start with the fundamentals of API design, including design considerations for a multitude of use cases, no matter if you’re creating single-page applications, mobile apps, or simply exposing your data for integration. Then, we’ll dive into a series of hands-on exercises designed to get you up and running on building APIs using ASP.NET Core and C#. Finally, we’ll review essential tools within the API development ecosystem that are designed to help you test, maintain, deploy, and document your API - all in just a couple of days! From the developer who’s never worked with an API (or an API of that kind for any matter!) to a seasoned API developer, this workshop will have something for everyone! Come prepared to learn and practice implementing an API that can be used to back systems of all kinds.
Topics:
- API Design best practices and important considerations
- Intro to ASP.NET Core API development
- Designing responses back to the client and implementing them
- Using CQRS to create a testable, scalable API development experience
- Versioning your API - exploring the API life cycle and building your project for versioning success
- Securing your API - considerations and techniques
- Testing your API using Postman’s test platform and ASP.NET Core’s integration testing framework
- Building/deploying your API to the cloud
- Documenting your API using OpenAPI/Swagger tooling
- Comparing/contrasting popular API paradigms (REST/gRPC/GraphQL)
Who should attend?
This workshop is geared towards anyone who has or might soon be working on, or are wanting to build an API.
Pre-requisites:
Basic knowledge of HTTP and some existing knowledge of C# is required.
