About the technology APIs are the backbone of modern software and a vital skill for anyone serious about professional development.

The free and open-source ASP.NET Core framework is one of the best tools available for creating APIs! It is designed to maximise code execution speed and reliability, and its “no compile” development experience means you are never stuck waiting for your code. Widely used by both small companies and big enterprises, ASP.NET Core benefits from both the support of its open-source community and the backing of Microsoft and the Azure cloud.
