Behind The Buzz Word #4: Blazor & WebAssembly - The Future?

Extremely pleased to announce that Behind The Buzz Word is back for the third installment. This time we're going to be looking at Blazor and WebAssembly - a topic that will be important to so many of you moving forward.

The wonderful Behind The Buzz Word community has really come together to help build this one and Toli will be guiding us into the kata.

For those who haven't been before - our format is extremely simple:

Behind The Buzz Word is a software development kata run by Reed Technology for those who're looking to get hands on with the latest technologies. On this occasion we'll also be having our food and drinks provided by mobile app, cloud and IoT specialists Dootrix.

The event is designed to allow you to get hands on with the latest technologies that can add value to your stack. By using a kata format, you're able to be introduced to something new and then really get stuck in with it - all you need to do is bring your laptop.

The introduction to the new technologies is provided by the best possible speakers. Remaining language agnostic, so you can interact with the new tech however you develop, we offer a fair and open opportunity for those of all skill sets to experience something new, brush up on skills, or even learn a new approach from those around you.

This isn't designed to be a super serious, heads down event. The flow is loose, collaboration is encouraged, as long as you feel like you've gained new knowledge then we're happy.

With regards to the tech stack for the evening - would everyone please be able to follow the Microsoft guide, as shown below:

The schedule for the evening is structured in order to give us the best possibility to explore Blazor as a group, and collaborate appropriately, we'll begin the talks at 6:30, but as always, we'll be there from 5:30 for anybody who wants to come early for a natter.
