What you should know

- [Instructor] To get the most out of this course, you'll need a few things first. First, you'll need to be familiar with C# and have a basic understanding of how ASP.NET Core works. Don't worry, you don't need to be an expert. If you want a refresher, check out the course, Learning ASP.NET Core MVC by Jess Chadwick. I'd suggest installing Visual Studio 2017 on your machine to follow along with the code examples. If you don't have Visual Studio, you can install the Community Edition for free. If you're on a Mac or Linux box, you can use Visual Studio Code or your favorite editor to follow along instead. I'll be using Visual Studio Community Edition on Windows, so if you are using Visual Studio Code or another text editor, the interface will look different but the code will be the same. Finally, you should have a basic understanding of how HTTP works and what JSON is. If you want a refresher on the high level concepts involved in REST and HTTP APIs, check out the course, Learning RESTful APIs. All right, let's get started.
