This intensive program provided a comprehensive deep-dive into building powerful and user-friendly web APIs.
- API: APIs define how applications communicate and exchange data.
- ASP.NET Core: A framework for building web applications and APIs in C#.
- Logging: Records events and errors to help monitor and debug applications.
- Models: Represent real-world entities and their data in your application.
- Postman: A tool for testing and interacting with APIs.
- EF Core: Entity Framework Core, a library for interacting with databases.
- Layer: Organizes code into distinct sections for better maintainability (e.g., data access layer, business logic layer).
- NLog: A popular logging framework for .NET applications.
- Global Error Handling: A central mechanism to catch and handle errors throughout the application.
- Automapper: Automatically maps data between different object types.
- Content Negotiation: Allows APIs to respond with different data formats based on client preference (e.g., JSON, XML).
- Validation: Ensures data submitted to the API meets specific requirements.
- Asynchronous Code: Enables applications to handle multiple tasks concurrently without blocking.
- ActionFilter: Code that intercepts and modifies requests and responses processed by controllers.
- Pagination: Breaking down large datasets into smaller, manageable pages for easier retrieval.
- Filtering: Allows users to narrow down search results based on specific criteria.
- Searching: A powerful library for full-text search functionalities.
- Sorting: Ordering data based on specific criteria (e.g., date, name).
- Data Shaping: Controlling the structure of data returned by the API.
- Hateoas: Hypermedia as the Engine of Application State - allowing clients to discover available actions through API responses.
- Option and Head: HTTP methods used to get metadata about a resource without retrieving the entire content.
- Root Documentation: A central location for API documentation.
- Versioning: Managing different versions of an API.
- Caching: Storing frequently accessed data for faster retrieval.
- Rate Limit and Throttling: Controlling access to the API to prevent overload.
- JWT, Identity and Refresh Token: Mechanisms for user authentication and authorization.
- API Documentation: Clear and comprehensive instructions for using the API.
Thank you, BTK Akademi, for the excellent ASP.NET Core Web API course! I truly appreciate the comprehensive learning experience.
