.NET 6 Minimal API Full Build

Video Review

Les Jackson’s beginner level video on .Net 6 minimal API development is a step-by-step walkthrough on how to build a minimal API using .Net 6. It also provides an informative comparison of what an MVC API application is and touches on the appropriateness of using one approach over the other. In typical Les Jackson fashion, this high-quality video is well produced and presented. The code examples work, and a GIT repository is provided with all discussed code. .NET 6 Minimal API Full Build is highly recommended.

Les Jackson

In this step by step video we perform a full step by step build of a .NET 6 minimal API. We also contrast and compare it with a MVC API to further understand the differences and similarities between them.
