Practical ASP.NET Web API provides you with a hands-on and code-focused demonstration of the ASP.NET Web API in action. From the very beginning, you'll be writing working code in order to see best practices and concepts in action. As the book progresses, the concepts and code will become more sophisticated. Beginning with an overview of the web service model in general and Web API in particular, you'll progress quickly to a detailed exploration of the request binding and response formatting that lie at the heart of Web API. You'll investigate various scenarios and see how they can be manipulated to achieve the results you need.
Later in the book more sophisticated themes will be introduced that will set your applications apart from the crowd. You’ll learn how you can validate the request messages on arrival, how you can create loosely coupled controllers, extend the pipeline processing to compartmentalize your code for security and unit testing before being put onto a live hosting server.
What you’ll learn
- What ASP.NET Web API is and how it can be used effectively
- Ways to optimize your code for readability and performance
- What controller dependencies are and why they matter
- How to maintain robust security across your projects
- Reliable best-practices for using Web API in a professional context
Who this book is for
The book is ideal for any .NET developer who wants to learn how the ASP.NET Web API framework works in a realistic setting. A good working knowledge of C# and the .NET framework and a familiarity with Visual Studio are the only pre-requisites to benefit from this book

Free Practical ASP.NET Web API
It is rare for me to take the time to offer my thoughts on a product, but this book forced me to come out of the woodwork. Lakshmiraghavan's clear explanations and thoughtful construction of tutorials made reading this book a pleasure. There was never a point where code wouldn't compile, a large feat for any technical book author.
I came to this book after getting frustrated with the other current Apress book on the topic,
Pro ASP.NET Web API: HTTP Web Services in ASP.NET. After roughly 170 pages of that one, it got tedious. I stumbled across this one shortly afterward and am so glad I did.
Some of the topics that I really appreciated:
* Media-Type formatters
* Great coverage of content negotiation ("conneg")
* Binding to CLR objects
* Extension points for Dependency Injection/Inversion of Control
* Simple yet clear example of the Repository and Unit of Work patterns (a bonus to me since this isn't a patterns book)
* Use of AutoMapper
I do wish the author had done more with unit testing and illustrating how the platform was *built* to be tested. However, at least there was some coverage of the subject and a developer who really values quality software testing should be able to easily take that and run with it for a non-trivial project.
Bottom line: if you are looking to learn ASP.NET Web API, grab this one. You will not be disappointed.
This book thoroughly covers the ins and outs of ASP.NET Web API. It also contains a full set of code examples. This book is excellent for those who prefer to learn by doing.
My only wish is that topics of ETags with caching, CORS, and pushing data from server to client were a little longer. They were covered with examples, but I wanted more.
