How I Built My First ASP.NET Core API: Project Structure, DTOs, and CRUD Explained
When you first start learning software development, everything can feel overwhelming and confusing. All the terminology — controllers, HTTP requests, DTOs — might sound like a foreign language. Trust me, I’ve been there too. I still am learning every day. But here’s the great part: with every step forward, things start to make sense. In this article, I want to share my own learning journey and walk you through building a simple yet complete API in ASP.NET Core that covers all essential CRUD operations — Create, Read, Update, and Delete. By writing this, I reinforce my own learning, and hopefully, I can help you as well if you're on the same path. Let’s dive in together!
