Evolution of Blazor in .NET 8: Exploring the Multi-Page Apps Implementation by Blazor!
Join us to explore the evolution of Blazor in .NET 8 and its potential for implementing Multi-Page Applications (MPAs). Blazor has been widely recognized as a technology for Single-Page Applications (SPAs) in .NET. However, with the upcoming release of .NET 8 in November, Blazor brings exciting possibilities for building MPAs as well.
In this session, we'll discuss how Blazor empowers developers to build MPAs without the need to learn or switch between ASP.NET MVC and Razor Pages. With just Blazor programming skills, you can now create MPAs seamlessly. Additionally, Blazor in .NET 8 enables the creation of SEO-friendly MPAs that render entirely on the server side, eliminating the need for constant connections or heavy WebAssembly content loading.
