Thanks for the email comments. That gets me thinking, for sure... As far as this question, I was not planning on writing a CRM. I am writing a WebAPI lookup to complement my use of an existing CRM. I am asking about a WebAPI that could not be more simple. A database (probably MySQL), and one web method, Contact GetContactById(int contactID) the return could/should be JSON. There needs to be a single query to find that one unique record. I like the sound of using .NET Core, since, as a .NET Developer, I really have a large hole in my resume, and this would help me fill that hole. So, the question is how well would .NET Core do solving this problem? I expect it to be the first step into a web service that may grow and grow. Thanks.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content fr-view">
I need to create a simple WebAPI which will have access to a database of thousands of users/contacts with the normal information, FirstName, LastName, Street1, Street2... each with a unique Integer ID. And I need a WebAPI which accepts one parameter, the Unique ID, and return the required information. I have a WordPress site, but do not think this is something WP is set up for. Or is it? What is the range of choices for this? I consider C#.NET to be a non-starter, due to the need for a Windows license. What other C# options are there? .NET CORE?? That would interest me, actually, since I have as yet had no experience with .NET CORE. I could also choose Node.js. What other choices can you suggest? What do you consider the best choice? Thanks.

Web development includes all aspects of presenting content on intranets and the Internet, including delivery development, protocols, languages and standards, server software, browser clients, databases and multimedia generation.

Web Development

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).

WordPress is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) based on PHP and MySQL for creating websites and blogs. Features include a plugin architecture, a template system and strong management, customization and search systems; through its dynamic presentation of content, webmasters have the flexibility to create websites easily.

WordPress

MySQL is an open source, relational database management system that runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of databases. Acquired by Oracle in 2009, it is frequently used in combination with PHP installations, powering most of the WordPress installations.
