Workshop

Building RESTful APIs with ASP.NET Core and C#

This workshop is all about implementing a scalable, performant, testable, and robust API solution using ASP.NET Core and C#. We’ll start with the fundamentals of REST and REST API design. Then, we’ll dive into a series of hands-on exercises designed to get you up and running on building RESTful APIs using ASP.NET Core and C#.

Three Rewrites, One Startup - An Architect’s Journey

Picture this: you're a senior engineer at your company who, one day, is thrust into the architect role. Suddenly, you're having to think about things that you've never thought about - what's the difference between a microservice and a service bus? How do I design a scalable system for tomorrow without overengineering today?

Better yet, if you're at a startup, do all that - and still be responsible for code reviews, development, and coaching of junior devs. How can a fledgling architect possibly "do it all" - and more importantly, do it well?

Luckily, someone has gone down that path (and is still going)… and he's ready to share his story.

Attend Spencer's talk and hear about how he, as a senior engineer, had to grow into the architect role. We'll discuss the problems faced, the critical "decision points" he made from an architecture standpoint, the results of those choices, and how he helped guide the business through three architectural rewrites - all in a span of four years!

Day 2, 16:10

Designing and Implementing REST APIs For The Long Haul

REST APIs aren't dead - in fact they're more alive than ever. Don't let the hype around GraphQL put you off - RESTful APIs are being built and used by developers all over the world and that isn't changing anytime soon.

Before you start with File > New Project, however, there are some key decisions to be made about your API. Who is the main consumer? How will you authenticate? Who will own the documentation? How will you test it? How will you deploy it?

In other words, how will you manage the (probably very long) lifecycle of your REST API?

Join Spencer as he walks you through some of the decision making processes that you'll go through when building a REST API from the ground up. He'll offer advice as a designer of REST APIs of all shapes and sizes, for many different kinds of consumers, and share some of the many lessons learned over the years. Finally, we'll walk through some of the technical considerations you'll make when your developers finally sit down and start developing your API.
