Hello Blazor: Running C# and Razor directly in the browser

Speaker: Gill Cleeren

Abstract:
Frameworks such as Angular and TypeScript have made it easier to create rich, interactive applications for the web. But the learning curve for some developers can be a bit steep. Moving to client-side development with JavaScript after years of C# development can be hard. With Blazor, Microsoft is introducing a framework that allows you to build the same rich experiences in browser while being fully based in C# and HTML, using a syntax that’s very similar to ASP.NET development. Blazor is based on the foundations of WebAssembly, which is supported in every modern browser without the need for a plugin. Your Blazor app will work fine on mobile devices, even as a Progressive Web App (PWA). And where needed, you can still rely on already-created JavaScript components, since Blazor allows interop with JavaScript.

Join Gill, Microsoft MVP and RD and learn about:

• What Blazor is and what it can be used for
• How you can leverage your C# knowledge to build rich interactive experiences for the web using Visual Studio
• How to create your first components
• How you can interact with built-in JavaScript APIs
• How to deploy your app to Azure
