Putting It All Together

Abstract

It’s almost time to start writing the Web API-based controllers for the RESTful task-management service. You’ve spent the bulk of this book so far laying down important fundamentals. I’m a firm believer in really understanding how different pieces of an application work, as well as in knowing why you’ve made certain architectural decisions along the way. Essentially, you should be able to defend the choices you make for framework-level components, for the tools you use, for your application’s class structure, and for the way you write all the code. As such, it’s important to spend the necessary time to plan such fundamentals properly. At a minimum, you should be able to defend your own MVC 4 and Web API REST services.
