Web API is usually the most important part in a web app.

This is how you expose your web app to the world, and to other users, and it must be fast, easy to use, and up-to-date.

gRPC is one of the most advanced and exciting web APIs in the industry today, and it adds a lot of value to any web app. Capabilities such as server and client streaming, strongly-typed messages, blazing-fast performance and more make it an important asset in every developer and architect toolbox.

And this practical, hands-on course will make you an expert in gRPC.

We are going to cover all aspects of gRPC, from the very basics to the most advanced topics.

Here are some of the topics we’re going to discuss:

– How gRPC stacks against REST API

– Basic concepts of gRPC

– The 4 communication types of gRPC:

   – Unary RPC

   – Client-side streaming

   – Server-side streaming

   – Bi-directional streaming

– Best practices of designing gRPC API

– Using Protobuf, the message serialization format used by gRPC

– Error handling in gRPC

– Authorization and Security

And lots more.

Now, in order to make this course as valuable as possible, I made it extremely practical and hands-on.

We’re going to build, together, a fully-functional, full-blown gRPC-based chat app, utilizing all the concepts we’ll learn in the course, and we’re going to use multiple platforms for that – nodeJS and .NET.

Note: You don’t have to be a .NET or nodeJS developer to take this course. I’m going to guide you through all the steps in the development process, and make sure everything will work as expected.

By the end of this course, you’ll be an expert in gRPC, not just in theory, but in practicality.

There is no other course like this! This is the only course that will take you all the way to  be an expert in gRPC, from the very beginning to topics known to few, and will do that in an extremely practical and hands-on fashion.

If you’re not sure if this course is for you – drop me a note!

What are the prerequisites for this course?

Students are expected to be able to understand code , and to know how the internet is working (HTTP protocol, Request / Response model, and so on).

About Me

I’ve been in the software industry for more than 25 years, and a Software Architect for more than 20 years, working with a variety of clients – Fortune 100 enterprises, start-ups, govt. entities, defense, telco, banking, and lots more.

I’m an avid speaker and trainer, having trained thousands of students in various courses.

I love what I do, and my greatest passion (well, besides my family) is designing modern, practical, and reliable systems for my clients, using the best possible API.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have access to the course materials?

You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.

Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?

Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don’t have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That’s up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
