Summary


In this chapter, we've taken a look at the basic structure of an ASP.NET Web API project, and observed the unification of a Web API with MVC in an ASP.NET core. We also learned how to use a Web API as our backend to provide support for various frontend applications.

In the next chapter, we will learn more about developing an interactive frontend UI with HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS3. We will focus on using JavaScript to consume a Web API, while getting an introduction to client-side tools, such as Bower, Grunt, and Gulp.
