Az-2002: Develop an Asp.Net Core Web App That Consumes an API

The AZ-2002: Develop an ASP.NET Core Web App That Consumes an API course teaches developers how to build ASP.NET Core web applications that interact with external APIs using HttpClient and Razor Pages. This 8-hour hands-on course covers HTTP operations (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE), API response rendering, authentication, encryption, and Azure App Service deployment. Esamatic srl, a Microsoft Learning Partner in Milan, delivers this course with Microsoft Certified Trainers.

• Applied Skills Credential: validates competency in developing ASP.NET Core web apps that consume APIs
• HttpClient Implementation: configuring and using HttpClient for RESTful API communication
• Razor Pages: dynamic rendering of API responses in ASP.NET Core web applications
• API Security: authentication, authorization, and encrypted API communication
• Azure Deployment: publishing ASP.NET Core applications to Azure App Service

Course Overview: AZ-2002 ASP.NET Core Web App with API Integration

ASP.NET Core is Microsoft’s cross-platform framework for building modern web applications. The AZ-2002 course focuses on a critical developer skill: building web applications that consume RESTful APIs. Participants gain practical experience with HttpClient configuration, HTTP method implementation, Razor Pages rendering, API authentication, and deploying the finished application to Azure App Service.

Learning Objectives

1. Configure HttpClient for API communication — set up HttpClient with dependency injection, base addresses, and default headers
2. Implement HTTP operations — perform GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE operations against RESTful APIs with proper error handling
3. Render API data with Razor Pages — display API responses dynamically using Razor Pages model binding and tag helpers
4. Secure and deploy the application — implement API authentication, encrypt communications, and deploy to Azure App Service

Who Should Attend

This course is ideal for developers with intermediate C# and HTML knowledge seeking to build web applications that integrate with external APIs, particularly those familiar with RESTful services and basic web development concepts.
