Hands-on .NET Minimal API for Web Developers - Introduction - Implementing Collection APIs - Getting Started

This video tutorial introduces minimal APIs and demonstrates how to implement collection APIs using these concepts. It covers creating API endpoints for a course resource, focusing on operations like getting, adding, updating, and deleting courses. The tutorial emphasizes the get method for listing all courses and guides through adding a data model and database context. It also explains dependency injection in minimal APIs, differing from conventional controller APIs, and concludes with implementing the get operation.

What are the main operations you can perform on the courses collection using minimal APIs?

Describe the steps involved in adding an endpoint to expose the courses collection.

What is the significance of using a data model for an individual course in minimal APIs?

How does dependency injection differ in minimal APIs compared to conventional controller APIs?

Explain the process of implementing the get operation to fetch all course items.
