About this Guided Project

As a C# backend developer, why is it important to implement API endpoints? APIs are a logical choice for building applications that allow users to connect to, manage, and interact with cloud services flexibly in a distributed environment. Many enterprises, such as Amazon, Google, LinkedIn, and Twitter, utilize APIs to create seamless applications and services.

In this intermediate 90-minute project, you will integrate and utilize APIs within a student management application by creating API methods, incorporating C# methods into a C# API application, and making calls to your C# APIs. To achieve this, you will create endpoints to retrieve, lookup, and add new data within a list of students. By the end of this project, you will master the implementation of C# APIs and apply your knowledge to create a customer management API. This project is unique as it teaches you how to implement API endpoints in C# simply and efficiently in a simulated environment with all necessary software and tools readily available. To succeed in this project, you must have a solid understanding of the client-server model, familiarity with Visual Studio Code and .NET Core, as well as working experience with C# classes and methods.
