In this course you learn to install and configure Node.js with the Express framework. Send JSON data along with status codes from a web API. Understand how to pass parameters to a web API. Develop routes within separate modules. Build a CRUD class and establish routes. Learn to manage exceptions effectively.
Using Web APIs, you can write code behind a firewall to access your data and expose just what you want to the outside world. Traditionally you used MVC with controllers to create Web APIs. Starting with .NET Core Microsoft released a new method for creating Web APIs called the Minimal Web API. This new approach is simpler than MVC. In this course you learn how to use these minimal calls and how best to architect them to provide scalability and ease of maintenance. Even if you have never created a Minimal Web API before, this course guides you step-by-step through the entire process.
In this course you learn to install and use SQL Server with Express.js. You will build a set of APIs to retrieve all data, and search for a subset of data, from a SQL Server table. You will also learn to INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE data from a SQL Server table.
