ASP.NET Core 2.2 & 3 REST API — Tutorials Index

My dear friend, mentor and Microsoft Data Platform MVP, Nick Chapsas started a video series on youtube about building production grade REST APIs with ASP.NET Core versions 2.2 & 3. He tackles many issues regarding domain driven design, best practises, clean code, security, integration testing and much much more. Actually, the series is still in progress, but there are — by the time I’m posting this — 20+ videos already available.

Here’s a catalog of each one of my post s— write-ups of each video. Each post also contains one video.
