Web-API-.NET

About:

Simple CRUD Web API created in the .NET core framework. Allows for the creation and modification of To-do items, as well as an additional creation of financial items. For the most part I used a microsoft tutorial to help me get started. Then I added my own spin onto it by practicing creating a financial helper section that allows the user to create a table full of financial items that either add or subtract from their total expenses.

Whay I Learned:

Throughout the process I learned the foundation of an API. I created Models for different items, a Database Context for each item, as well as a controller to handle** HTTP requests**. On the front end, I learned basic HTML and CSS skills to display information and allow the user to create/update/delete items. As well as incorporating JavaScript functions into each individual page. In addition, I learned about what Data Transfer Objects (DTOs) are and how they assist in hiding private information from the users, but not from priviledged users.
