Building Services with ASP.NET Web API
Services expose data and processes through APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) implemented using common approaches or standards. Decoupling our back-end from our front-end makes it possible for our services to support multiple client apps. We can even allow other developers and organizations to consume and use our services to further broaden the reach of our applications. In this course, you'll learn how to use the ASP.NET Web API framework to build a RESTful service or HTTP API. As you learn about Web API, you'll create a service for the Fitness Frog single-page web app (SPA) developed using Angular.

Getting Started with ASP.NET Core
ASP.NET Core (previously known as ASP.NET 5) is a new open-source (github.com/aspnet/home (https://github.com/aspnet/home)) and cross-platform framework for building modern web apps using .NET. It is a significant redesign of ASP.NET, built from the ground up to provide an optimized development framework for apps that are either deployed to the cloud or run on-premises. You can develop and run your ASP.NET Core apps cross-platform on Windows, Linux, and macOS. In this workshop, we'll answer the question "What is ASP.NET Core?", explore the .NET CLI, and create a simple app–from the command line and using Visual Studio. Along the way, we'll also take a look at some of the key new concepts and features that are part of ASP.NET Core.
