Master Minimal APIs With The "Minimal APIs In ASP.NET Core" Course

For the past six months, I’ve dedicated every weekend to creating something special—a course designed to transform how you approach building APIs. Minimal APIs, the streamlined, lightweight approach to creating APIs in .NET, offer a perfect blend of simplicity, flexibility, and power. Whether you’re new to API development or a seasoned developer looking to refine your skills, this course has everything you need to take your expertise to the next level.

This course wouldn't have been possible without the incredible support and expertise of Marinko and Vladimir from Code Maze. Their invaluable guidance and insightful knowledge, combined with the platform they provided, played a key role in bringing this project to life.

We’ll start with the basics, exploring what Minimal APIs are and why they’ve become a game-changer in modern application development. From there, we dive into project configuration, covering essential elements like setting up environment-based settings, configuring logging with Serilog, and ensuring your project is built on a solid foundation. You’ll learn how to structure your application with Onion Architecture, design model classes, work with DbContext, and implement repositories, services, and utilize the Unit of Work pattern for a clean and maintainable codebase.

Handling HTTP requests is at the heart of any API, and this course makes sure you master every aspect. From fetching entities with GET requests to validating data with POST, PUT, and PATCH, you’ll gain hands-on experience building endpoints that are robust and user-friendly. You’ll also learn to handle errors gracefully with global exception handling.

As you progress, you’ll gain insightful knowledge about advanced features that elevate your APIs. You'll learn how to implement pagination, filtering, searching, and sorting to handle large datasets efficiently. Add HATEOAS for hypermedia-driven APIs, version your APIs gracefully to adapt to future needs, and document everything with Swagger. This course also delves into critical topics like authentication, authorization, caching, and rate limiting to ensure your APIs are secure, performant, and production-ready.

Every lesson is crafted to help you not only understand the “how” but also the “why.” By the time you finish, you’ll have mastered the intricacies of Minimal APIs and gained the confidence to design systems that are scalable, secure, and maintainable. You’ll even learn how to write and run integration tests, ensuring that your APIs meet the highest standards of quality.

This course is more than just a tutorial—it’s a journey. Each topic builds upon the last, creating a cohesive learning experience that prepares you for real-world challenges. With over 40 different topics ranging from core concepts to advanced techniques, you’ll be equipped with the tools and knowledge to excel in your career.

If you’re ready to elevate your development skills and build APIs that stand out, this course is for you. Join me, and let’s master Minimal APIs In ASP.NET Core together.
