Seeking Guidance: How to Approach Learning .NET Web API – Community Support Appreciated!

Hey everyone!

I’m currently on a journey to learn .NET Web API and aim to become confident in backend development using C#. While I’ve been going through some tutorials and articles, I’ve found that there’s a lot of confusion, especially among different team leads and resources—everyone seems to have their own way of structuring APIs, which makes it tough to find a clear starting point.

I’d really appreciate some help from the community:

How did you start learning .NET Web API?

What concepts should I master first (e.g., routing, controllers, dependency injection)?

Any recommended project ideas, best practices, or real-world advice?

Should I learn REST deeply first, or just dive into Web API directly?

How can I structure my learning path to make consistent progress?

I’m not looking for shortcuts—just some real, practical advice that can help me build a solid foundation. If anyone is open to mentoring or even just sharing tips/resources, it would mean a lot.

Thanks in advance for your support and encouragement. 💬🤝 Let’s connect and grow together!
