Implementing an API in ASP.NET Web API
If you watched my Web API Design course, you should know what a pragmatic RESTful API looks like. In this course I'll show you how to implement it in ASP.NET Web API
What you'll learn
Implementing a practical REST-based API can be a challenge. My previous course (http://pluralsight.com/courses/web-api-design) covered how to design a RESTful API while avoiding the dogmatic religion of REST but embracing the best of the pragmatic parts. In this course, I'll show you how to take that design and implement it in ASP.NET Web API including controllers, routing, dependency injection, versioning, security, hypermedia, REST constraints and caching.
