🎓 Course Title: Real-World Web API Development using C#, SQL, Dapper, JSON

Course Overview:

Learn to create a robust and scalable e-commerce Web API from scratch using C#, SQL Server, Dapper, and JSON. This course is designed for developers who aim to understand the real-world application of these technologies in building a functional and efficient backend system.

What You'll Learn:

Tools & Technologies:

• SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS): Gain proficiency in managing, designing, and deploying databases using this powerful tool.
• Visual Studio IDE: Master the most popular integrated development environment for developing, testing, debugging, and deploying applications on Windows, Android, and iOS.
• Postman API Platform: Learn how to test and iterate APIs with ease, ensuring your Web API behaves exactly as you intend it to before deployment.

Advantages of This Course:

🚀 Real-App Approach:

• Design an API that aligns with real-world business objectives, ensuring that you're not just learning theoretical concepts but applying them in a practical context.
• Develop skills that are easily extended and integrated into future projects.

🔍 Database-First Development:

• Understand the advantages of building your application's database first, such as data protection and easier SQL command writing.

✨ C# Programming Language:

• Dive deep into C#, an object-oriented language that's both powerful and versatile, perfect for developers with a background in C, C++, Java, or JavaScript.
• Explore the potential to expand your skills beyond Web API development to creating mobile applications, web applications, and games using C#.

🌟 ASP.NET Core Framework:

• Utilize this lightweight, high-performance, and open-source framework developed by Microsoft to create robust and scalable applications.
• Learn how to optimize your application performance by including necessary packages.

🔥 Dapper ORM Tool:

• Discover Dapper, an efficient object mapping layer that allows you to execute queries and commands against a database and map result sets directly into .NET objects.

📊 JSON Data Interchange Format:

• Understand the use of JSON for data exchange, which is not only fast and readable but also the standard format for data interchange on the web.
