Ha sido un libro bastante sencillo de seguir, utiliza un proyecto guiado para explicar todo el desarrollo de una Rest Api utilizando las tecnologias de C# desde Net Core, Entity Framework, xUnit, AzureDevOps, como tambien otras tecnologias interesantes Docker, git, Postgresql y muchos otros temas interesantes que si bien su nivel es basico no deja de ser un buen punto de comienzo para quien quiera adentrarse en el Backend

The book feels like it teaches you just the basics of MVC based APIs using the .NET Core 3.1, however it shows you a lot of good practices and very advanced tricks. I strongly recommend it!
