Web APIs drive the most popular and powerful web and mobile apps—making the developer who can build a robust Web API a developer that's in demand. Get started creating your own Web APIs with ASP.NET Core in Visual Studio 2015. Learn how routing works to ensure Web APIs work as planned and are easily consumed by remote applications. Then find out how data is modeled and how to build business logic for a Web API. Instructor Chris Woodruff shows how to implement CRUD operations to connect to SQL Server, so you can see how the data models in your projects connect to underlying databases. Finally, the chapter on caching will show how to improve the performance of ASP.NET Core Web API projects. Follow along with Chris to learn all these concepts and more, and complete the Web API shown in the course: an ecommerce engine for creating and viewing customer orders and assigning orders to sales reps.
