Download or read book Pro ASP NET Web API Security written by Badrinarayanan Lakshmiraghavan and published by Apress. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ASP.NET Web API is a key part of ASP.NET MVC 4 and the platform of choice for building RESTful services that can be accessed by a wide range of devices. Everything from JavaScript libraries to RIA plugins, RFID readers to smart phones can consume your services using platform-agnostic HTTP. With such wide accessibility, securing your code effectively needs to be a top priority. You will quickly find that the WCF security protocols you’re familiar with from .NET are less suitable than they once were in this new environment, proving themselves cumbersome and limited in terms of the standards they can work with. Fortunately, ASP.NET Web API provides a simple, robust security solution of its own that fits neatly within the ASP.NET MVC programming model and secures your code without the need for SOAP, meaning that there is no limit to the range of devices that it can work with – if it can understand HTTP, then it can be secured by Web API. These SOAP-less security techniques are the focus of this book.

Download or read book Asp net Core 1 1 Web Api for Beginners written by Jonas Fagerberg and published by . This book was released on 2017-08-25 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Want to learn how to build ASP.NET Core 1.1 Web APIs? Prerequisites:* C# (Intermediate level; including Generics, Reflection and Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)) Need help? Feel free to contact me at: [email protected] Code: https://github.com/csharpschool/AspNetCoreWebAPI Errata: https://github.com/csharpschool/AspNetCoreVideo/issues This book is primarily aimed at developers who want to learn how to build ASP.NET Core 1.1 Web APIs; no user interface will be built; instead, you will use a tool called Postman to make requests and to receive responses from the Web API. You should be an intermediate level C# developer with some experience in object-oriented programming (OOP), generics, and reflection. The book presupposes that you have a solid C# foundation since the language won't be explained in any detail. You will learn ASP.NET Core 1.1 Web API by building three services that handle data used in four controllers. An empty template will be used to build the Web API application from the ground up. The goal is to get you familiar with ASP.NET Core 1.1 Web API by adding middleware and services one piece at a time, building a basic application. The first service will use in-memory data stored in collections to make it easier for you to learn Web API basics. The second service will implement the same interface that the in-memory service uses to interact with a SQL Server database using Entity Framework. The third service will be generic, using reflection in one of its methods. Generics will make it possible to reuse the same methods when interacting with all tables in the database instead of creating a set of methods for each table. The content in this book will get you started with Web APIs in a fast, no-fluff way. It's important to mention that this book is practical and tactical, where you will learn as you progress through the modules and build a real Web API step-by-step. To spare you countless pages of fluff (filler material), only valuable information, pertinent to the task at hand, is discussed. The benefit is a shorter and more condensed book, which will save you time and give you a more enjoyable experience. The goal is to learn ASP.NET Core 1.1 Web API by implementing three different scenarios in a Web API application from scratch using an empty project template. This experience is something you can put in your CV when applying for a job or a consultant position, or when negotiating a higher salary.Technologies, frameworks and languages you will use:* Postman (To send requests and receive responses from the Web API)* Visual Studio 2017* ASP.NET Core 1.1 MVC/Web API (The framework that you will use)* Services (To provide you own functionality as a reusable service)* Middleware (To provide you own functionality to HTTP Request pipeline)* Entity Framework (To crate and communicate with a database)* LINQ (To query the database)* Dependency Injection (To inject objects into constructors)* NuGet (To install necessary libraries) What you will implement:* A Web API application from an empty template.* Create a "real world" code-first database using Entity Framework Core.* Add and modify entity models to perform CRUD operations against the database. I hope you love the book!Sincerely,Jonas Fagerberg Now click the Buy button and start reading the book.
