Microsoft Blazor: Building Web Applications in .NET 6 and Beyond

Build  web applications in C# and Microsoft .NET 6 that run in any modern  browser and become a full-stack web developer!. Do all these things  using the Microsoft Blazor framework and the techniques shown in this  book. New in this edition is coverage of the new and improved Razor  syntax, communication with the server using SignalR and/or gRPC, the use  of virtualization to load large quantities of data efficiently,  deployment and ahead-of-time compilation into WASM, new unit testing  features, security using OpenID Connect, and more.

Reading  this book helps you learn to build user interfaces and present data to a  user for display and modification, capturing the user’s changes via  data binding. The book shows how to access a rich library of .NET  functionality such as a component model for building a composable user  interface, including how to develop reusable components that can be used  across many pages and websites. Also covered is data exchange with a  server using REST, SignalR, and gRPC, giving you access to microservices  and database services.

Blazor  provides a fresh take on web development by eliminating the need for  you to learn different languages and frameworks for client- and  server-side development. Blazor allows C# and .NET to be used on all  sides—both server-side and client-side—providing a robust feature set  that is well suited toward scalable, enterprise-level applications. With  Blazor you can use all your experience in .NET 6 along with thousands  existing libraries, right in the browser. This book gets you proficient  using this important toolkit for web application development.
