Key benefits

  • Get a comprehensive analysis of the latest specification of ASP.NET Core and all the changes to the underlying platform that you need to know to make the most of the web API

  • This book is packed with key theoretical and practical concepts that can be instantly applied to build professional applications using API with Angular 4, Ionic, and React

Description

Microsoft has unified their main web development platforms. This unification will help develop web applications using various pieces of the ASP.NET platform that can be deployed on both Windows and LINUX. With ASP.NET Core (Web API), it will become easier than ever to build secure HTTP services that can be used from any client. Mastering ASP.NET Web API starts with the building blocks of the ASP.NET Core, then gradually moves on to implementing various HTTP routing strategies in the Web API. We then focus on the key components of building applications that employ the Web API, such as Kestrel, Middleware, Filters, Logging, Security, and Entity Framework.Readers will be introduced to take the TDD approach to write test cases along with the new Visual Studio 2017 live unit testing feature. They will also be introduced to integrate with the database using ORMs. Finally, we explore how the Web API can be consumed in a browser as well as by mobile applications by utilizing Angular 4, Ionic and ReactJS. By the end of this book, you will be able to apply best practices to develop complex Web API, consume them in frontend applications and deploy these applications to a modern hosting infrastructure.

Who is this book for?

This book is for .Net developers who wants to Master ASP.NET Core (Web API) and have played around with previous ASP.NET Web API a little, but don’t have in-depth knowledge of it. You need to know Visual Studio and C#, and have some HTML, CSS, and JavaScript knowledge.

What you will learn

  • Acquire conceptual and hands-on knowledge of ASP.NET Core (MVC & Web API)
  • Learn about HTTP methods, the structure of HTTP content, internet media types, and how servers respond to HTTP requests and their associated HTTP codes
  • Explore middleware, filters, routing, and unit testing
  • Optimize Web API implementations
  • Develop a secure Web API interface
  • Deploy Web API projects to various platforms
  • Consume your web API in front end application based on Angular 4, Bootstrap, and Ionic

It has provided effective knowledge for API development using Dotnet Core with C# programming language. It has very real examples.

I largely agree with the other reviewer, who gave 2 stars. The book claims to have an author - who should have reviewed his work himself - as well as a proofreader, and a reviewer, but it has many unclear sentences (without examples to help clarify), grammatical errors, and code errors. I am really starting to get fed up with Packt books.

This is a frustrating book to try to work through. Many of the code examples are incomplete and do not compile. I spent a lot of time searching the web for solutions, and this definitely hampered me from learning the concepts as well as I should have. There are also a lot of misspellings and grammatical errors. Overall, the book seems sloppy and rushed. Not recommended.

I do not recommend this book. While the authors themselves may have a firm grasp on the ins and outs of Web API, you can't tell it from the code inside the book or what's bundled in the download. I tried implementing the code using the examples in the book and from the download files while reading "Chapter 4:Controllers, Actions, and Models". Too much of the code and concepts necessary to complete the solution were left out of the chapter and what was in the download was different than shown in the book.I gave up and continued reading the book but my curiosity got the better of me when I got to "Chapter 9: Integration with Database". Again, the code shown in the book was incomplete (missing crucial pieces) while the download was significantly different from the published book. This happened with both the EF6 and EF Core sections.I continued reading on and, not having learned my lesson earlier, tried implementing the code for "Chapter 12: Hosting and Deployment". More of the same problems.In summary, if the authors can't be bothered to provide coherent examples in the book and complete solutions matching what's been written, I won't bother recommending it. And even though the code is available through GitHub, I'm not wasting my time correcting their mistakes.I also blame the reviewer(s) who should've easily caught these mistakes.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
