About this audiobook
C# REST API and WPF desktop app. C# REST API and WPF desktop development meet in a single hands-on project. Build C# REST APIs and WPF Apps is a practical guide that pairs a web service backend with a desktop client, covering data access, endpoints, and a working UI. Sterling Fontaine leads you through creating a real-world application from scratch. Unlike C# 14 and .NET 10 – Modern Cross-Platform Development Fundamentals by [placeholder] or C# 12 and .NET 8 – Modern Cross-Platform Development Fundamentals by [placeholder], this book focuses on integrating a RESTful API with a rich client interface using WPF. You'll learn to design database access with Entity Framework Core, build secure endpoints with ASP.NET Core, and craft responsive UIs with XAML. Each chapter builds on the previous, culminating in a fully functional application. Perfect for beginners and pros alike, this project-based approach ensures you can immediately apply skills to your own projects. By the end, you'll have a complete system and the confidence to tackle any C#/.NET challenge. Sterling Fontaine and [placeholder] offer contrasting approaches, but this book gives you the end-to-end experience.
This hands-on C/C++/C#/.NET guide is written to be used at the keyboard: every concept is paired with something you can run, adapt, and keep. You move from first principles to real, working results, with the common errors and fixes called out along the way so you are never stuck for long.
