Harmony Core Tutorials

To help you learn how to build Harmony Core services, we have developed several self-paced tutorials that will teach you everything from basic concepts to advanced techniques.

Available Tutorials

• Tutorial 1: Building a Demo Service

  • Get a Harmony Core OData service up and running really quickly with this short tutorial. You will learn how to use the harmonydemo solution template to create a pre-configured demo environment that you can examine and explore.

• Tutorial 2: Building a Service From Scratch

  • If you are looking for a lot more detail then this tutorial is for you. Uou will build a Harmony Core OData web service from scratch, in bite-sized pieces, and along the way we'll explain how everything fits together. By the time you are done you will have much of the service that the demo tutorial provided, but you will have the satisfaction of having built the service yourself!

• Tutorial 3: Authentication via Custom Code

  • In this tutorial you will start with the Harmony Core service that you created by completing either one of the previous two tutorials, and you will add user authentication to the service.

• Tutorial 4: Implementing Traditional Bridge

  • So far it's all been about OData, but there is so much more that Harmony Core can do. In this tutorial we'll switch gears and start to consider code-centric services, where web service endpoints are backed not by automatically generated data access code, but by custom business logic that you write. There are several ways to do this, but in this tutorial we will focus on using Traditional Bridge, a mechanism that lets you leverage business logic written in traditional Synergy as part of your Harmony Core service.
