Overview of this book

Visual Studio 2022 is the complete and ideal integrated development environment (IDE) for creating large, complex, and scalable applications. It is one of the most complete tools available for development, especially with Microsoft technologies. This book will teach you how to take advantage of the tools available with this IDE to write clean code faster. You’ll begin by learning how to set up and start Visual Studio 2022 and how to use all the tools provided by this IDE. You will then explore key combinations, tips, and additional utilities that can help you to code faster and review your code constantly. Next, you will see how to compile, debug, and inspect your project to analyze its current behavior using Visual Studio. The book also shows you how to insert reusable blocks of code writing simple statements. Later, you will learn about visual aids and artificial intelligence that will help you improve productivity and understand what is going on in the project. By the end of this book, you will be able to set up your development environment using Visual Studio 2022, personalize the tools and layout, and use shortcuts and extensions to improve your productivity.

Templates for APIs

Today, it is almost a rule that applications use API-based endpoints. This is because they provide a high level of security and interoperability by not depending on a particular technology or operating system, and they can be scaled according to the existing demand. Also, we can implement advanced architecture, such as microservices using APIs, where all our business logic is distributed in small isolated and standalone services.

Due to the great importance of being able to develop solutions based on APIs, Visual Studio 2022 incorporates a special template so that we can create APIs based on .NET 6, which we can search by filtering the api term, as can be seen in Figure 4.12:

Once we have selected the template, we will have to fill in the complementary information, according to our needs, as seen in Figure 4.13:
