In this 2-hour project-based course, you will learn the fundamentals of building and deploying a cloud-based API using C# and Microsoft Azure. We will construct a fully functional URL shortening service with Azure Function Apps and Azure Table Storage.
Azure Functions is a serverless computing service from Microsoft that allows you to run code without managing infrastructure. This project teaches you how to use Azure function apps to build asynchronous API endpoints, integrate Azure storage, and deploy our function app to the cloud.
This course is aimed at intermediate-level learners who are looking to gain practical experience with serverless computing and cloud development using C#.
To complete this project, you should possess the following foundational knowledge and resources: a Microsoft Azure free trial account, familiarity with HTTP methods (GET, POST), request/response structures, and HTTP status codes, an understanding of JSON format for data exchange, proficiency in navigating the Azure portal for resource management, and basic skills in string formatting and concatenation.
By the end of this course, you will have a deployed URL shortening API, replicating real-world applications in marketing and link management, and gain hands-on experience with essential cloud development skills.
This 2-hour course teaches building and deploying a URL shortening API using C#, Azure Functions, and Table Storage, covering serverless concepts, asynchronous endpoints, and cloud deployment, suitable for those with basic C# and Azure knowledge.
