Apps and Services with .NET 8

Develop advanced web services and APIs using the latest .NET 8 features, focusing on security, scalability, and real-time communication. This course enables you to build resilient, high-performance services and integrate modern API technologies. Gain practical expertise in building and securing web services with Minimal APIs, implementing caching and background processing, and developing serverless nanoservices using Azure Functions. Learn to broadcast real-time updates with SignalR and combine data sources using GraphQL. This course equips you with the skills to create robust, scalable, and responsive services that meet modern application demands. Through a blend of in-depth explanations and practical examples, this course helps learners apply advanced .NET techniques to real-world service development. Learners will build confidence in designing, implementing, and optimizing modern APIs and background services. This course is part two of a three-course Specialization designed to build a complete and cohesive understanding of the subject. While it offers valuable skills on its own, you'll gain the most benefit by progressing through all three courses as a structured learning journey.
