November 2021 represents significant date for every developer interested in C# and its related tools and technologies. On November 2021 Microsoft lunched new C# version, version 10, new .NET CORE version, Version 6, new Visual Studio, version 2022, and many more. One of the greatest changes is lunch of minimal API’s! A new minimal way of writing C# API’s.This changes everything, from the way of thinking about C# API to its new minimal look and feel. Lets together get skilled in all of the C# new technologies in a projects in which we will create new .NET6 minimal API from zero to the end. We will start with an preexisting regular REST .NET5 C# web API which we will use for features guidance’s and beside it create new .NET 6 minimal API project which we will compare to the old ways of writing API’s.I’m Luke, Senior Full Stack Software Engineer and lets together get skills and knowledge for building C# newest minimal API’s.C#C# 10 adds the following features and enhancements to the C# language: Record structsImprovements of structure typesInterpolated string handlersglobal using directivesFile-scoped namespace declarationExtended property patternsImprovements on lambda expressionsAllow const interpolated stringsRecord types can seal ToString()Improved definite assignmentAllow both assignment and declaration in the same deconstructionAllow AsyncMethodBuilder attribute on methodsCallerArgumentExpression attributeEnhanced #line pragma.NET 6.NET 6 delivers the final parts of the .NET unification plan that started with .NET 5. .NET 6 unifies the SDK, base libraries, and runtime across mobile, desktop, IoT, and cloud apps. In addition to this unification, the .NET 6 ecosystem offers: Simplified development: Getting started is easy. New language features in C# 10 reduce the amount of code you need to write. And investments in the web stack and minimal APIs make it easy to quickly write smaller, faster microservices. Better performance: .NET 6 is the fastest full stack web framework, which lowers compute costs if you’re running in the cloud. Ultimate productivity: .NET 6 and Visual Studio 2022 provide hot reload, new git tooling, intelligent code editing, robust diagnostics and testing tools, and better team collaboration.NET 6 will be supported for three years as a long-term support (LTS) release. Preview features are disabled by default. They are also not supported for use in production and may be removed in a future version. The new RequiresPreviewFeaturesAttribute is used to annotate preview APIs, and a corresponding analyzer alerts you if you’re using these preview APIs.NET 6 is supported by Visual Studio 2022 and Visual Studio 2022 for Mac (and later versions).Visual studio 2022With Visual Studio 2022, you’ll always get the best-in-class tools and services available for any developer, any app, and any platform. Whether you’re using Visual Studio for the first time or you’ve been using it for years, there’s a lot to like in our newest version!
