Technical requirements
To proceed through this book, you will need a computer running Windows (10 or 11) and an internet connection. It is best if your computer has at least 16 GB of memory, and, of course, you’ll need room on your disk for the software and for the code you will write.
You can create APIs on any platform (e.g., Linux) and use any development environment (e.g., Visual Studio Code instead of Visual Studio). This book, however, will focus on Visual Studio and Windows as they are the most popular and arguably the most powerful way to create .NET APIs.
The code files for this book are available in the book’s GitHub repository: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Programming-APIs-with-C-Sharp-and-.NET.
