Prerequisites

· Installed visual studio with support for .Net 6, follow here for instructions on how to get visual studio.

· Understand some basic C# and perhaps some previous knowledge of API’s although I will attempt to make this as beginner friendly as I can.

We need to first create a new .Net API project.

Go to your visual studio and select “create a new project” this should be under the Get started label.
