Welcome to Part 2 of our .NET Core API tutorial series! 🎉 In this video, we’ll kickstart our journey by creating a new .NET Core API project from scratch. We'll cover the initial setup, choose the right project templates, and configure essential settings to set up a solid foundation. Next, we’ll dive into database setup with Entity Framework Core, creating the necessary models, DbContext, and initial migrations to ensure our database is structured and ready for action.
