Stop Invalid Data in Your .NET API (Here's How 👇)


Hey Reader,

In my last videos, we built a solid CRUD API using Vertical Slice Architecture, Minimal APIs, and Carter - super clean and modern.

But there’s still one problem...

👉 What happens when a user sends empty or invalid data?

In this new YouTube tutorial, I’ll show you how to fix that with:

And yep, the full source code is free to download. Just check the link in the video description.

If you’ve been enjoying this Vertical Slice series, this is a must-watch. It’s a simple upgrade that makes your API feel way more solid.

As always, I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

Take care & happy coding,

Patrick

Hey friend, I just released a new video and I think you will enjoy this one. In the video, I ask GitHub Copilot to build a real mortgage app in Blazor. The app works. But the code is messy.

Fluent Validation. The difference is night and day. Watch the video here 👇 Enjoy the breakdown and let me know what you think. Take care, Patrick P.S....

Hey friend, I just released a new video showing a better way to use GitHub Copilot in real .NET projects. Watch it here 👇 If you ever felt like Copilot starts strong but then your code slowly turns into chaos, you’re not alone. It happens to most developers when they start using AI without giving it the right guidance. In the video, I show you one simple file you can add to your project that keeps your code clean, structured, and consistent. No guessing. No random patterns. Just a clear...
