Modern Web Development with Blazor WebAssembly and .NET

Description

The most popular JavaScript client-side web frameworks have been Angular, React, Vue, and others. In this course, we keep it .NET using Blazor, which is Microsoft's response to that monopoly. Blazor allows you to create a single-page application on top of .NET Core and continue coding in C# (without needing to flip between C# and JavaScript too much). Blazor apps are composed of reusable web UI components implemented using C#, HTML, and CSS. Both client and server code are written in C#, allowing you to share code and libraries. Blazor can run your client-side C# code directly in the browser, using WebAssembly (WASM). Because it is real .NET running on WebAssembly, you can reuse code and libraries from server-side parts of your application. We will be exploring many intricacies of the Blazor lifecycle, data flow, JavaScript interoperability, and general development activities and nuances. By the end of the course, you will have the skills and knowledge to build a web application using Blazor.

Audience

This course is ideal for anyone who wants to learn Blazor development and for those who want to learn .NET web development and programming.

Approach

This course is beginner-friendly and full of development tips; it requires some knowledge of object-oriented programming, if not C#.

It contains over 10 hours of premium content but is smartly broken up to highlight a set of related activities based on each module in the application. We will look at troubleshooting and debugging errors as we go along, implementing best practices, and writing efficient logic. Your knowledge will grow steadily, and you will be challenged to be the best you can be.
