Insights into Developing with Blazor, AND Containers in .NET 7

An in-person and online event featuring two 30min presentations.

Insights into Developing with Blazor, with Stephen Nield

Blazor is a Microsoft framework first released in 2018 that uses Razor syntax and C# instead of JavaScript for developing modern web apps. One of the exciting things about Blazor is that it enables .NET developers to utilise their existing C# knowledge and allows backend and frontend development to share much of the same code.

Stephen will take you through his experience working with Blazor for WebAssembly to develop a web app for Cashflow Manager. This will be a quick introduction to some of the core concepts, and also an honest opinion of where Blazor is at, and what are some of the benefits and downsides of choosing Blazor over competing frameworks like Angular and React.

Containers in .NET 7, with David Gardiner

Running .NET inside a container has been supported for a while, but up until now, building the container image required a bunch of extra steps. Until .NET 7! We'll contrast how much easier it is to build containers for .NET apps in .NET 7, how you can customise the image to your needs, incorporate it into your CI/CD pipeline, and any limitations to be aware of.
