Use this ASP.NET Core API tutorial and straightforward step-by-step guide to build, test, and deploy an ASP.NET Core API to Azure. It will help you code confidently and efficiently, and provides just what you need for context.  

The book starts with detailing how to set up your development environment, and then introduces a variety of tools and technologies to build, test, and deploy your API.
