The power of RESTful APIs

“

- [Nate] In today's IT driven economy, APIs are becoming increasingly important. You've probably consumed APIs yourself, and maybe you've written some of your own. At the same time, the idea of REST and RESTful services is gaining popularity. But REST is more than just HTTP verbs and returning JSON, it's a fundamentally different way of building and modeling APIs that can be incredibly powerful. Hi, I'm Nate Barbettini. In this course, you'll learn the best practices for designing a RESTful API. We'll explore what it means for an API to be RESTful and how to design for HATEOAS or Hypertext As The Engine Of Application State. Then we'll work together to build a secure, scalable REST API from the ground up on top of ASP.NET Core. We'll cover the nitty gritty details of data modeling, hypermedia relationships, security, authentication and authorization, and much more. We've got plenty to cover, so let's get started.
