Upon completion of this course, you will be adequately prepared to take Microsoft's Develop an ASP.NET Core web app that consumes an API Applied Skill assessment. This course covers all necessary content and provides essential practice to boost your confidence and ensure success in the final assessment. This course is unique because it will allow you to utilize your current skill set and be confident enough to upgrade your code and web applications for efficiency, speed, and security. By modularizing your code into APIs and implementing ASP.NET Apps that will consume them, you will be able to write less code, with more powerful results. By adding APIs into your environment, you can take advantage of a new type of architecture which will allow you and your team members to easily deploy and share code. HTTP Client Functionality will give you the edge when creating applications that need to work with Add, Edit, and View functionality. After talking this short course, you will be able to strategize and plan the expansion of your ASP.NET applications to include techniques that will simplify your code and result in, beautiful, modern architecture that can communicate with any API, written in any language. Learners with experience in C#, HTML, and CSS who are looking to expand and make their code more efficient should take this course. By the end of this 1.5-hour long course, you will be able to: Build and Prepare the Code Environment with the Necessary Tools to Consume an API Preapre and develop a C# ASP.NET Core Web Application that will Interact with an API Develop an ASP.NET Core Razor Page that will Perform HTTP Operations Create a Razor Page that will Render/Trigger API Response Events This course is unique because the customized hands-on learning experiences are tailored to the learner for success in using ASP.NET, Razor Pages, APIs, and C# To be successful in this project, you should have a background in C#, HTML, and CSS Development. You should also have some knowledge about APIs with regard to their reusability.

Syllabus

Introduction: Develop an ASP.NET Core Web App that Consumes an API

An API (Application Programming Interface) is a reusable component that is written in any programming language, and then consumed by Web Applications, Mobile Applications, Desktop Applications, and more. This short course will provide hands-on experience using Visual Studio Code and C# to consume an API that will result in the exchange of data, known as requests and responses.

Lesson 1: Prepare the Microsoft Lab Environment

In this foundational lesson, you will be able to prepare your lab environment with a free trial of Microsoft Azure. We will explore the trial’s features throughout this lesson and short course, to prepare you for real-world scenarios.

Lesson 2: Build the Code Environment With the Necessary Tools to Consume an API

In this lesson, you will learn to independently use the tools and components necessary to communicate with and consume API services. You will also gain a clear understanding of the different types of APIs available for application development, and build confidence in integrating this layer into your own environment.

Lesson 3: Prepare and develop a C# ASP.NET Core Web Application that interacts with an API

In this lesson, you will learn concepts and skills to work more efficiently using reusable API components. You will also utilize .NET Packages to experience automated code that is both efficient and easy to integrate.

Lesson 4: Develop an ASP.NET Core Razor Page that will Perform HTTP Operations

In this lesson, you will create and build a Razor Page to demonstrate the use of both ASP.NET Web Pages and Razor Pages within the same application. You will also utilize the new Razor Page to interact with a REST API, performing Add, Delete, and View operations. This will showcase how quickly a web application can be developed when an API is already in place. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to apply these skills to your current ASP.NET Web Applications, seamlessly integrating APIs, ASP.NET Pages, and Razor Pages to upgrade your applications without starting from scratch.

Lesson 5: Create a Razor Page that will Render/Trigger API Response Events

In this lesson, you will create an interactive Razor Page that handles communication between your application and the API using Request and Response events.
