Full Stack Development with Microsoft BlazorEdizione 4

Become a full-stack web developer using the Microsoft Blazor framework and the techniques shown in this book. This new edition will have you building all kinds of applications in C# and Microsoft .NET 8, from static web sites to fully interactive single page applications, and desktop and mobile applications, in no time.

At it's core, this book teaches you to build user interfaces and present data to a user for display and modification, capturing the user’s changes via data binding. The book shows you how to access a rich library of .NET functionality such as a component modeling for building composable user interfaces—including developing reusable components that can be used across many pages and websites. New for this edition, the book now covers server communication using SignalR and/or gRPC, the use of virtualization to load large quantities of data efficiently, deployment and ahead-of-time compilation into WASM, new unit testing features, security using OpenID Connect, and more features added in Blazor in .NET 8.

At it's core, Blazor provides a fresh take on web development by eliminating the need to learn different languages and frameworks for client- and server-side development. It also allows C# and .NET to be used on all sides—both server-side and client-side—providing a robust feature set that is well suited toward scalable, enterprise-level applications. With Blazor you can use all your experience in .NET 8 along with thousands of existing libraries, right in the browser. This book gets you proficient using this important toolkit for web application development.
