Microsoft's ASP.NET Web API simplifies data delivery through HTTP, making it a great platform for building RESTful applications. With ASP.NET Web API Succinctly, you'll learn the ins and outs of the technology so that you can start building services in no time. The book starts with a high-level overview of Web API, examining the hosting layer, message handler pipeline, and controller, and delves further into each layer in succinct detail. By the end of the book, you'll understand how ASP.NET Web API handles requests, how to set up a route table, and how to extend the controller at the center of the API to perform custom actions. Beyond data delivery, you'll gain some insight into keeping your API secure, self-hosting or hosting the API on the web, and how to create unit tests with it. Even if you don't have a thorough knowledge of HTTP, you can start using ASP.NET Web API-simplicity is one of its strengths.
Design and build Web APIs for a broad range of clients—including browsers and mobile devices—that can adapt to change over time.

Get up to speed with the latest features of C# 8, ASP.NET Core 3 and .NET Core 3.1 LTS to create robust and maintainable web services Key FeaturesApply design patterns and techniques to achieve a reactive, scalable web serviceDocument your web services using the OpenAPI standard and test them using PostmanExplore mechanisms to implement a secure web service using client-side SSL and token authenticationBook Description In recent times, web services have evolved to play a prominent role in web development. Applications are now designed to be compatible with any device and platform, and web services help us keep their logic and UI separate. Given its simplicity and effectiveness in creating web services, the RESTful approach has gained popularity, and this book will help you build RESTful web services using ASP.NET Core. This REST book begins by introducing you to the basics of the REST philosophy, where you'll study the different stages of designing and implementing enterprise-grade RESTful web services. You'll also gain a thorough understanding of ASP.NET Core's middleware approach and learn how to customize it. The book will later guide you through improving API resilience, securing your service, and applying different design patterns and techniques to achieve a scalable web service. In addition to this, you'll learn advanced techniques for caching, monitoring, and logging, along with implementing unit and integration testing strategies. In later chapters, you will deploy your REST web services on Azure and document APIs using Swagger and external tools such as Postman. By the end of this book, you will have learned how to design RESTful web services confidently using ASP.NET Core with a focus on code testability and maintainability. What you will learnGain a comprehensive working knowledge of ASP.NET CoreIntegrate third-party tools and frameworks to build maintainable and efficient servicesImplement patterns using dependency injection to reduce boilerplate code and improve flexibilityUse ASP.NET Core's out-of-the-box tools to test your applicationsUse Docker to run your ASP.NET Core web service in an isolated and self-contained environmentSecure your information using HTTPS and token-based authenticationIntegrate multiple web services using resiliency patterns and messaging techniquesWho this book is for This book is for anyone who wants to learn how to build RESTful web services with the ASP.NET Core framework to improve the scalability and performance of their applications. Basic knowledge of C# and .NET Core will help you make the best use of the code samples included in the book.

C# is a general purpose, object-oriented, component-based programming language. As a general purpose language, there are a number of ways to apply C# to accomplish many different tasks. You can build web applications with ASP.NET, desktop applications with Windows Presentation Foundation, or build mobile applications for Windows Phone. Other applications include code that runs in the cloud via Windows Azure, and iOS, Android, and Windows Phone support with the Xamarin platform. With C# Succinctly by Joe Mayo, you will quickly learn the syntax you need to build your own C# applications.

Microsoft has only recently embraced the world of open source software, offering many pieces of the .NET Framework architecture as open source projects. One of the most significant projects is Roslyn, Microsoft's C# and Visual Basic compilers rewritten entirely in managed code. With Roslyn Succinctly by Alessandro Del Sole, you will learn how the platform grants developers greater freedom to build tools for other developers, how to build your own tools, and how to share them with the development community.
In spite of the abundance of PDF readers and editors available, perhaps you want to know the fundamentals of the PDF standard without reading thousands of pages. PDF Succinctly is your primer for understanding the components of PDFs, how text and graphics are added to them, and how the final PDF is compiled. This e-book also includes an introduction to iTextSharp, a C# library that provides an object-oriented wrapper for native PDF elements. With the basic information about the Portable Document Format contained in this book, it will be much easier for you to streamline the creation of PDF documents.
