Ultimate ASP.NET 5 Web API Development Guide - Review and Add Changes to GitHub - Creating Additional API Behaviors

The video tutorial covers setting up repositories and scaffolding controllers, emphasizing the importance of making context-based decisions. It discusses the use of auto mapper, swapping DB context for repositories, and the significance of detail granularity and contract extensions. The tutorial highlights the need for consistency in REST API development and concludes with committing changes to GitHub, setting the stage for a focus on security in the next lesson.

What is one of the key reasons for swapping out the DB context for a repository?

• To make the application more user-friendly

• To reduce the size of the database

• To prevent over-posting and introduce validation

• To increase the speed of the application

Why might you choose not to get very granular with your API details?

• Because it makes the API slower

• Because it is always better to have less detail

• Because the context of the application might not require it

• Because it is more expensive to implement

What is a principle of REST API that was emphasized in the video?

• It must be scalable

• It must be consistent

• It must be secure

• It must be fast

What is the next focus after setting up the API according to the video?

• Enhancing the database

• Focusing on security

• Adding more features

• Improving the user interface

What is the purpose of adding changes to GitHub as mentioned in the video?

• To back up the code

• To prepare for a presentation

• To share the code with the team

• To finalize the current development stage
