Building Web APIs with gRPC – The Complete Guide

Web API is usually the most important part in a web app.

This is how you expose your web app to the world, and to other users, and it must be fast, easy to use, and up-to-date.

gRPC is one of the most advanced and exciting web APIs in the industry today, and it adds a lot of value to any web app. Capabilities such as server and client streaming, strongly-typed messages, blazing-fast performance and more make it an important asset in every developer and architect toolbox.

And this practical, hands-on course will make you an expert in gRPC.

We are going to cover all aspects of gRPC, from the very basics to the most advanced topics.

Here are some of the topics we’re going to discuss:

– How gRPC stacks against REST API

– Basic concepts of gRPC

– The 4 communication types of gRPC:

   – Unary RPC

   – Client-side streaming

   – Server-side streaming

   – Bi-directional streaming

– Best practices of designing gRPC API

– Using Protobuf, the message serialization format used by gRPC

– Error handling in gRPC

– Authorization and Security

And lots more.

Now, in order to make this course as valuable as possible, I made it extremely practical and hands-on.

We’re going to build, together, a fully-functional, full-blown gRPC-based chat app, utilizing all the concepts we’ll learn in the course, and we’re going to use multiple platforms for that – nodeJS and .NET.

Note: You don’t have to be a .NET or nodeJS developer to take this course. I’m going to guide you through all the steps in the development process, and make sure everything will work as expected.

By the end of this course, you’ll be an expert in gRPC, not just in theory, but in practicality.

There is no other course like this! This is the only course that will take you all the way to  be an expert in gRPC, from the very beginning to topics known to few, and will do that in an extremely practical and hands-on fashion.
