Webhooks with .NET 5

🎉 Webhooks with .NET 5: Leverage the power of webhooks to enhance your solutions! 🚀

Course Overview:

In this no fluff / no filler course, we're diving deep into the practical application of Webhooks using .NET 5. We'll blend just enough theory with hands-on, step-by-step guidance to build a comprehensive solution from scratch. Les Jackson, an experienced course instructor, will guide you through the process of creating a fully functional system that simulates a fictional airline and its travel-agent customers.

What You'll Learn:

📚 Theory Recap: We'll kick things off with a brief overview of what Webhooks are and their importance in the modern digital ecosystem. This sets the stage for understanding why they're a critical tool for enhancing your solutions.

🔧 Practical Build: The bulk of the course is dedicated to building three separate .NET projects. These aren't just theoretical exercises; they're designed to mirror real-world scenarios and provide you with a deep understanding of how webhooks function within different contexts.

Project Breakdown:

1. Airline Web 🛫

   • Webhook Registration REST API
   • Flight Details REST API, which will publish to RabbitMQ message bus
   • A simple HTML/JavaScript/Bootstrap web client for making API calls

2. Airline Send Agent 🔧

   • Stand-alone "agent" that sends webhooks en masse
   • Dependency Injection implementation
   • RabbitMQ subscriber/consumer with event-based message delivery
   • Uses HttpClient and HttpClientFactory for sending HTTP requests

3. Travel Agent Web 🏢

   • A simple webhook POST endpoint
   • A SQL Server backend to authenticate incoming webhooks

Technologies in Action:

We'll utilize Docker Compose to set up and run the solution, ensuring you can replicate the environment with ease. This includes:

• A RabbitMQ server for message queuing
• A Microsoft SQL Server instance for database operations

Development Tools:

🛠️ VSCode: We'll be using VSCode as our development tool throughout the course. If you're more comfortable with Visual Studio, take note and consider this when deciding to take the course.

Course Resources:

• Source Code: Available for download to follow along or practice after the lectures.
• Slideware: Downloadable as a Lecture Resource to help reinforce the concepts taught during the course.
