Ultimate ASP.NET 5 Web API Development Guide - Controller Refactor

The video tutorial discusses refactoring controllers to simplify code and improve readability. It covers changes made to the country's and hotels' controllers, focusing on reducing lines of code and removing unnecessary logic. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of controllers acting as request responders, delegating tasks to other components. It highlights specific refactoring examples, such as the get all method, fact action, and post and delete operations. The goal is to maintain functionality while enhancing code maintainability and consistency.
