RESTful.NET

Course Summary

The RESTful.NET training course begins with an in-depth examination of how to design, architect, build, and consume RESTful web services using the .NET framework. Next, students will learn about the technical details of common web services technologies like Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), Web Services Description Language (WSDL), Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), Representational State Transfer (REST), and JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), including their advantages and disadvantages. The course concludes with a lesson on how to use the Application Programming Interface (WebAPI) to build RESTful web services using ASP.NET Model-View-Controller (MVC).
