The course provides comprehensive knowledge and skills required to develop RESTful web APIs using the ASP.NET Web API framework. It covers the fundamentals of building services, designing RESTful APIs, and understanding the architecture and capabilities of the ASP.NET Web API framework.
This course is suitable for developers, software engineers, and anyone interested in building scalable and maintainable web APIs using the ASP.NET framework.
A basic understanding of web development concepts and prior experience with any programming language would be beneficial.
You'll learn about RESTful web service principles, the architecture of ASP.NET Web API, how to use the framework to create web services, and best practices for designing APIs. The course also includes modules on C# programming, advanced C# techniques, and SQL Server for backend development.
The first module delves deep into the C# programming language, covering topics such as data types, variables, operators, expressions, and control structures. You will gain a solid foundation in the syntax and principles of C# programming.
The second module focuses on advanced C# concepts like delegates, events, object-oriented programming principles (inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation), and techniques for working with classes and objects. It also covers exception handling, threading, and asynchronous programming.
This module provides knowledge on designing, implementing, and maintaining SQL Server databases. Topics include database architecture, data types, normalization, indexing, SQL queries, stored procedures, triggers, and functions.
Alongside theoretical knowledge, the course offers practical exercises and projects, allowing learners to apply concepts and techniques in real-world scenarios, thus giving them valuable hands-on experience.
\The course takes approximately 22 hours to complete. This estimate includes time for lectures, hands-on exercises, and projects, but the actual time may vary depending on individual pace and understanding.

Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
