From Developers to Developers…!

β€˜Ultimate ASP.NET Core Web API’ and all of its Bundle Bonuses are designed to help youΒ excelΒ your Career and Life…

Vladimir Pecanac

Hi, my name is Vladimir Pecanac, and I am a full-time .NET developer and DevOps enthusiast. I founded this blog so I can share the things I learn in the hope of both helping others and acquiring more knowledge on the topics I write about.

I feel that many technical articles are written in an unnecessarily complicated way to sound more authoritative and serious. My goal is to challenge that trend and write down-to-earth, simple articles that are easy to read and understand.

The best way to learn is to teach.

Marinko Spasojevic

Hi, my name is Marinko Spasojevic. Currently, I work as a full-time .NET, ASP.NET CORE, ANGULAR, and BLAZOR developer and my passion is web application development.

Just getting something to work is not enough for me. To make it just how I like it, it must be readable, reusable, and easy to maintain.

Prior to being an author on the Code Maze blog, I had been working as a professor of Computer Science for several years. So, sharing knowledge while working as a full-time developer comes naturally to me.

My hope is that the experience and knowledge I share will help you improve your own.

Is There A Guarantee?

YES!

If for some reason you don’t feel like that is true, then you willΒ receive a full refund (100% of the money you invested in our bundle) within 30 days (7 days for team licenses) from the day of the purchase.

Pretty simple. No questions asked.

“Quality Materials on Everything Involving .NET”

I’ve been working in Brazil with systems development for 25 years, and with .NET since its launch.

Over the years I’ve always looked for quality materials on best practices and everything involving .NET, until I came across the materials on the Code Maze website. If you’ve had any contact with the free materials made available on the Code Maze website, you can be sure that the paid content is of equal or better quality, and worth every penny.

I had already invested in the first version of this material, as well as the material about Blazor, and now I decided to invest in the second version ofΒ ASP.NETΒ Core. As I already imagined, based on what I’ve read so far, it’s already been worth the investment.

The folks at Code Maze deserve congratulations!

“Almost 400 Pages of Content Right to the Point”

Previously, when I bought the first version, I started to think about how much had changed with this new version, and looking in detail, the changes are brutal!

If you have purchased the first version and are still not sure about investing in this new version, I recommend it, it is worth every dollar. You will save many hours of watching videos, reading documentation, and trying different solutions until you get to the right one.

Almost 400 pages of content right to the point, no irrelevant content. The best thing apart from the content is the price, it can’t be beaten.

“Worthy investment”

“I cannot say enough good things about this book, and the bonus features. It is almost like having someone over your shoulder telling you what to do. The writing is clear and consistent, easy to follow, and just plain fun. Every topic is there. I can’t even imagine the hours that would need to be spent to get all of this information. I highly recommend it. If you can make only one investment this year, this is it.Β “

“I’ve been waiting for this book for a long time!”

“It’s been four years that I am working as a Software Engineer. Basically during this time, I got to know what I have to learn to make a consistent career. Luckily I stumbled upon “Code Maze” while doing Google searches. I started to follow this site from the very beginning and I felt like that finally got something that I was seeking for. Then one day I saw they launched a book regarding the “Ultimate ASP.NET Core Web API” program with a bunch of bonuses. I read the book contents where I found everything I need to achieve my goals. Most importantly I just want to mention thatΒ β€ŒI got intense support from the book author Marinko Spasojevic. The man who debugs my code and gives solutions wheneverΒ  I face difficulties. Yeah, it’s a long and true story. Lastly, I just want to say I know what I am learning and I know I am with the right community.

“Extraordinary .NET and C# source of code and knowledge”

“I love your vision and perception of simplicity and pragmatism. Code Maze is an excellent place for getting the latest best practices related to the web development world. Explanations followed by hands-on activities and code descriptions are the best way to learn and apply the knowledge and skills in further or undergoing projects. Just keep the ball rolling, you rock guys!”

“Avoided months of trial and error”

“With a real REST Web API, there is a lot MORE than what meets the eyes than building basic CRUD operations. You will find this out AFTER you go into production and see how fast that Web API you wrote, falls apart.
Welcome to β€œULTIMATEΒ ASP.NETΒ CORE WEB API”. This is a COMPLETE book and source code that takes you through from A to Z steps, in proper order, that you need to build a full-fledged and complete Web API project structure that you can then add all your entities, DTOs, Endpoints and etc. to it.
What I did in one week with this book, saved me months of trial and error to get everything working properly.
I won’t go into the details of what this book offers, you can read them on their website, but for a small fee, you will save a lot of time, mistakes, and money. That’s it!
The premium plan gives you a lot more value, as you get several other books, like security, docker and etc.
Ah, and the BEST support from the authors.
Good luck and see you there…”

“Got my money back in time saved”

I’m an iOS/Android developer and need to build backends to support my apps. There were a lot of recommended books teaching ASP.NET Core MVC but I only wanted a Web API. Sadly, I wasted time and money on bloated materials before discovering this book which is exactly the style I prefer. It’s more practical and makes for a great reference when building products.
Initially, I bought the basic pack but upgraded soon after to access the Facebook group. I’ve found having a support community invaluable when learning anything new and the authors answer member questions frequently.

“High-quality book from Code Maze authors”

“A book that you’ll want to have in your hands while working on any .NET Core Web API related project! The book has simple explanations and examples that can actually be applied on a project, unlike most of the examples I’ve seen in other books.

It is amazing how Code Maze authors explain some difficult topics in very simple and down-to-earth manner.

Good job guys! Highly recommended book for anyone who wants to start with .NET Core and for those who want to improve their current knowledge on the topic!”

“Fills the gaps”

UltimateΒ ASP.NETΒ Core Web API is the stop next to the Microsoft documentation. A step-by-step approach and detailed explanations helped me with all the blurry things I have left with after reading the documentation. From beginning to end, from project creation to deployment. If we add the fact that I got access to the private community and even more content by purchasing the Premium edition, buying this package has been an excellent choice. It justified the money invested 100%.

We value students feedback and that helps us create a perfect 5-star product
suited for both beginners and experts alike.

Questions?

Which package should I buy?

That mostly depends on your budget. Obviously, the Premium package is the best value for money (saves you 40%), but the book by itself is still 400 pages of goodies that will help you build production-ready APIs.

Could I just find all this on the Internet for free?

You can certainly find a solution, but it takes time and effort as with most things nowadays. However, the internet is often full of outdated solutions and time-wasters. This program, on the other hand, contains fresh and updated information and uses the latest .NET framework (.NET 8). This means you no longer have to waste your time or money searching for a solution.

What if I don’t like it?

That would make us very sad… But if you don’t like the book or don’t find the book useful, we don’t want your money. Just reply to your purchase receipt within 30 days (7 days for team licenses) and we’ll issue a refund.

Can I get a discount?

Contact us in the chat for more information. We can provide discounts for those who have problems purchasing the program. We do offer different pricing tiers too, so you can buy the most affordable one for you.

Where can I learn more about you?

We have a lot of free content on code-maze.com. Parse through the articles and learn more about our style and content we offer for free. Then imagine this book is our content on steroids.

I still have questions…
