ASP.NET Web API, Part 2 of 4: HTTP Pipeline

Course description

The ASP.NET Web API HTTP Pipeline course starts with data exchange through the Pipeline, covering Pipeline Elements and HTTP request, response and message handlers. The course then moves on to Improving HTTP Responses with CRUD responses and Exception Handling and finish up with Custom Handlers.

Each LearnNowOnline training course is made up of Modules (typically an hour in length). Within each module there are Topics (typically 15-30 minutes each) and Subtopics (typically 2-5 minutes each). There is a Post Exam for each Module that must be passed with a score of 70% or higher to successfully and fully complete the course.

Prerequisites

This course assumes that students have some programming background and experience using Visual Studio 2010 and Visual C#. A basic understanding of JavaScript, the ASP.NET MVC framework, and web services will be helpful but not required.
