Creating and deploying an ASP.NET Core Web API application can seem like a daunting task, but with the right guidance, it can be done in just 10 simple steps. This talk will walk attendees through the process of creating a basic ASP.NET Core Web API application, starting with creating a new project, setting up the database, adding controllers and models, and implementing authentication and authorization. The talk will then cover how to test the API locally, and how to deploy the application to a production environment, including the steps for configuring a web server, and setting up continuous integration and deployment. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of the steps required to create and deploy an ASP.NET Core Web API application, and the knowledge to apply it to their own projects.
