This project was created as part of an ITI database training, focusing on managing a complete academic system that includes students, instructors, departments, and courses. It handles complex relationships between these entities and provides a structured API to access and manipulate the data effectively.
The main goal of the project is to demonstrate real-world database operations, applying best practices in API development, clean architecture, and design patterns.
Entity Framework Core for database interactions
Swagger for API documentation and testing
Design Patterns like Unit of Work and Repositories for clean code organization
SOLID Principles for maintainable and scalable code
Pagination to handle large datasets efficiently
This project serves as a strong foundation that I plan to expand and improve over time, adding more advanced features and optimizations.
##✨ Features Full Academic Management System Manage students, instructors, departments, and courses with full CRUD operations.
Complex Relationships Handling Efficiently models and manages many-to-many and one-to-many relationships between entities.
RESTful API Endpoints Provides well-structured and standardized APIs for seamless integration with front-end applications or third-party services.
Swagger Integration Provides interactive API documentation and a testing environment for easy endpoint exploration.
