What do we cover in this session?

? We will create a simple MVC core web site that can display project information and

insert contacts into Vantagepoint

? Due to time and presentation limitations we cannot go directly into Visual Studio. All code

examples are screenshots

? If you want to review the code on your laptops download it from GitHub

()

? These are just concepts. The code does not include error handling or any security

considerations!

Overview

? With the move to Vantagepoint, the API technology changes from SOAP to REST

? For the time being the old SOAP visionws.asmx services are supported (to an

extend)

? You will have to move any old Vision API code to the new Vantagepoint REST

calls sooner or later

? New API can be used from many different clients (Jscript, PHP, Ruby, ¡­)

? Still a work in progress, new features are added constantly
