Well-structured course suitable for learners who have prior experience with RestAPI in another language or framework and learned C# before

Potential Drawbacks

Presentation could benefit from more images and diagrams to explain new concepts, especially for beginners
Content feels rushed towards the end, leaving long stretches of unexplained code-alongs, with abrupt course completion and lack of automated testing coverage
Some sections require detailed advanced information, which is missing (e.g., Identity section), resulting in the need to copy and paste code without proper understanding
Old .NET6 content is still present in the course, making it confusing for students while affecting the overall cohesion
