Key benefits

Create a production-ready Blazor application from start to finish
Learn Blazor fundamentals, gain actionable insights, and discover best practices
Find out how, when, and why to use Blazor Server and Blazor WebAssembly, as well as Blazor Hybrid

Description

Blazor is an essential tool if you want to build interactive web apps without JavaScript, but it has a learning curve. Updated with the latest code in .NET 7 and C# 11 and written by someone who adopted Blazor early, this book will help you overcome the challenges associated with being a beginner with Blazor and teach you the best coding practices. You’ll start by learning how to leverage the power of Blazor and exploring the full capabilities of both Blazor Server and Blazor WebAssembly. Then you'll move on to the practical part, centered around a sample project – a blog engine. You'll apply all your newfound knowledge about creating Blazor projects, the inner workings of Razor syntax, validating forms, and creating your own components. This new edition also looks at source generators, dives deeper into Blazor WebAssembly with ahead-of-time, and includes a dedicated new chapter demonstrating how to move components of an existing JavaScript (Angular, React) or MVC-based website to Blazor or combine the two. You’ll also see how to use Blazor (Hybrid) together with .NET MAUI to create cross-platform desktop and mobile applications. When you reach the end of this book, you'll have the confidence you need to create and deploy production-ready Blazor applications, and you'll have a big-picture view of the Blazor landscape.

Who is this book for?

This book is for .NET web developers and software developers who want to use their existing C# skills to build interactive SPA applications running either inside the web browser using Blazor WebAssembly, or on the server using Blazor Server. You’ll need intermediate-level web-development skills, basic knowledge of C#, and prior exposure to .NET web development before you get started; the book will guide you through the rest.

Background - I'm a self-taught programmer of 8+ years in various frameworks/engines/languages, mostly sticking with C# but fluent in many other notable languages. I suppose I'd be considered a life-long learner. I've recently been diving into web development to create a project I've been tossing around in my brain for a few months and have been consuming many books the last several months.This is the easiest 5 Star review I've given to a book for the last 6 months or so and has been added to my top 10 list of "Books You Need to own".With all that in mind, this is simply a must-have to ANYONE who is interested in web development and/or the Blazor framework. The book goes through everything you need to know to make your own web site from the very beginnings of a project and, throughout the book, construct a fully-functioning blog website ending in deployment and even tips on how to move from an existing site to Blazor.The first chapter explains Blazor in depth, including the differences between Server and Web Assembly, explaining how each one operates and even went so far as to creating a chart showing the differences in download size for single-page applications from large companies in comparison to a blazor sample setup.The second chapter gets into the creation of a new project. Everything is well documented and should leave no questions. There's SO much additional information here than what I am accustomed to when reading similar 'project creation' chapters from past books. It demonstrates the use of using the developer console through a browser to review file size transfer speeds, explaining EXACTLY what files are being sent and why. There's also CLI options Jimmy explains, which was much appreciated for me, being a Linux user. He then goes through each file created by a new project and covers exactly what each file does.From here on out, each chapter will introduce new concepts and you continue to build upon a blog web site using both Blazor Web Assembly and Server. Most notably are the chapters on Razor, two chapters on Blazor's component system, diving far into depth with all the features available to this, validation and forms (complete with admin panel), authentication, and so much more.Later chapters go way above and beyond what I would expect. It goes into advanced topics like browser storage, using a javascript interop to not only read js code in, but even go from .NET to JS or JS to .NET.Basically, I came into this book with the expectation I would use Blazor to build a blog page. What I WASN'T expecting was the amount of depth Jimmy goes into with exactly how everything works and why you would want to use it. Sprinkled through this read was things I didn't even know possible and it opens the door to a lot more experimentation / research.Buy this. You won't be disappointed.

7 stars book for blazor developers. From zero to hero. Thanks a lot for the auditor.

A. Zubarev May 01, 2023

In short, this is a book written by an expert for a future expert.After having read and practised the Blazor WebAssembly by Example by Toi B. Wright (which is a fine book in its own right) I wanted to continue on the learning path and decided to look into Web Development with Blazor.This book added a lot to my general knowledge where Blazor WebAssembly by Example left several common topics untouched, but excelled in covering creations of many typical applications and Blazor usage cases.It felt right away that the author of Web Development with Blazor is an advanced web developer, and as a bonus I liked the author's writing style, occasional humour and advice.Again, as oppose to how is the Blazor WebAssembly by Example is done, this book, instead of covering multiple projects, goes through only one - building a blog hosting engine. But covers it comprehensively and it resembles a monotonous typical developer's work on a large project, and is being done in an iterative manner with the end result having a complete product built.The other tidbit is a list of technical requirements at the beginning of each chapter which I find being nice to have to ensure one can complete it.The styling of the app is covered very well and I know that every project requires a lot of attention to.Besides, the JavaScript interop is thoroughly covered - this is especially valuable for those who are relatively new to the web development.Lastly, I can only think of one improvement: I wish the debugging part would come much earlier in the book.If you want to master Blazor - this is your book.

This is a well-written guide on Blazor Development. It assumes no prior knowledge and steadily goes from level to level with each new chapter, exploring the ins and outs of Blazor development.I recommend.
