Web API .NET 8 + Clean Architecture (en)

Ready to build robust, high-performance RESTful APIs with confidence? This comprehensive course gives you the knowledge and skills to create modern web APIs using the powerful combination of ASP.NET Core 8, Clean Architecture and Azure services. You will start with the fundamentals: HTTP communication, REST principles, routing, model binding and setting up your local development environment.

Next, you will establish the infrastructure - connecting an MS SQL database with Entity Framework, adding a seeding mechanism, and structuring the solution according to Clean Architecture with a clear separation of concerns using CQRS and MediatR. You will build full RESTful resource management with DTO mapping and Fluent Validation.

Beyond core features, you will enhance the robustness of your API: logging with Serilog, automated documentation, global exception handling, sub-entity management, user authentication and authorization with ASP.NET Identity (including roles and custom claims), plus pagination and sorting for large datasets.

Testing and deployment complete the journey: you will write automated unit and integration tests, deploy the application to Azure App Service with Azure SQL, and automate the whole process with CI/CD pipelines. By the end you will be able to architect and ship secure, maintainable and scalable RESTful APIs.
