This course is for all the ASP.NET Developers who have little or no experience to Web API as it starts from basics and covers all the key aspects of Rest-ful services with real world examples. It will be similarly helpful to experienced Web API devs because developing it using ASP.NET Core is completely different and many old concepts cannot be used as it is.

The vision of the course is that the viewers understand that how to develop a RESTful web API using the ASP.NET Web API service, and be able to implement a service with a range of data transfer and handling operations. They will understand RESTful service architectures and how different types of application data can be exposed with a web API, to different client endpoints.Let me give overview of the course.

The key features of the course are

  • Develop a complete enterprise level REST based HTTP services from scratch using ASP.NET Core Web API with latest standards.
  • An example driven course from starting from basics of REST with brief description of new ASP.NET framework ASP.NET Core.
  •  Discusses all the building blocks: Routing, Controllers, Content Negotiations and security with advance topics like versioning, dependency Injection, caching etc.
  • Includes the tips and best practices for making robust and scalable APIs.
  • Full of pictorial presentations for core concepts, practical examples and clear step by step instructions with tips and best practices.

What you will learn from this course.

  • Understand REST basics and its constraints with real life examples.
  • ASP.NET Core framework changes and its impact of ASP.NET Web API.
  • Building blocks of ASP.NET Web API : Routing Controllers, HTTP verbs with scenario bases example.
  • Implement various data transfer operation and Content negotiation.
  • Various security implementations options including OAuth, CORS.
  • A good hand holding of Advance topics like dependency Injection, API versioning, HTTP Caching etc.

Thanks a lot to all of you for your continuous support and feedback. Thanks a lot to Packt publishing for providing me the opportunity for this course and being supportive throughout the journey. Thanks a lot to my friends specially Arun for his time, support, feedback and reviews. Also I cannot forget to thanks my wife Renu for being so supportive and taking care of my son Anvit during my late night hours and weekends. Without their support it would not have been possible.

This book is based on my personal learning via blogs, samples, white papers, projects, POCs and many other sources. It has no relations with any of my current and previous employers. As this course is built on ASP.NET Core 1.0 which is not yet completely out and you may expect some changes in the final version.

[Video] Learn Garbage Collector (Part -5) : Generational Garbage Collector

Posted on by

Hello All,

This is the last part in the series of videos on Garbage Collection process. I have posted four parts earlier and I hope if you’ll see all parts in the series, you’ll get basic end to end understanding of Garbage collection process.

In the first part, I discussed about the basics of Object creation and it’s life cycle. In second video, I included the Garbage Collection steps. Third part included the discussion on Finalization which is one of the important concepts of Garbage Collection Process. In the fourth part, I discussed on the Internals of Finalization. The links of earlier parts are

Hello All,

Garbage Collector is one the basic concepts in .NET framework and ironically one of most misunderstood concepts as well. Also, It is also one of the most asked interview questions. To understand the whole concept, one need to understand Object creation and it’s life cycle life cycle and memory management from the application point of view.

I am going to post a series of videos on Garbage Collector and hope this will help you in learning the basics of Garbage Collector. In my first video, I have talked on Object creation and about it’s life cycle.

Hope you’ll enjoy the video and don’t forget to share your feedback.
