Building Web APIs Part 3 | Visual Studio Toolbox

This post has been republished via RSS; it originally appeared at: Channel 9.

This is the last of a three part series where Robert is joined by Chris Woodruff who shows how to build ASP.NET Core Web APIs. In this episode, Chris goes deep into what developers should know when building real-world APIs. This episode expands on the first episode to discuss what best practices developers should think about before, during and after their API project. We look at how and why you should decouple your API from the domain and data logic in your solutions and why we should not use our Entity Framework Core entity models at the API endpoints.
