Overview of this book

Apps and Services with .NET 7 is for .NET 6 and .NET 7 developers who want to kick their C# and .NET understanding up a gear by learning the practical skills and knowledge they need to build real-world applications and services. It covers specialized libraries that will help you monitor and improve performance, secure your data and applications, and internationalize your code and apps. With chapters that put a variety of technologies into practice, including Web API, OData, gRPC, GraphQL, SignalR, and Azure Functions, this book will give you a broader scope of knowledge than other books that often focus on only a handful of .NET technologies. It covers the latest developments, libraries, and technologies that will help keep you up to date. You’ll also leverage .NET MAUI to develop mobile apps for iOS and Android as well as desktop apps for Windows and macOS.

Integrating .NET MAUI Apps with Blazor and Native Platforms

This chapter is about integrating .NET MAUI apps with Blazor components and native platform features to build hybrid apps that make the most of the operating system they run on.

In Chapter 16, Building Web Components Using Blazor WebAssembly, you saw how easy it is to create components using web user interface technologies including HTML and CSS and common user interface style libraries like Bootstrap.

In Chapter 17, Leveraging Open-Source Blazor Component Libraries, you saw that there are many free open-source libraries for Blazor with great components like charts and data grids.

In Chapter 18, Building Mobile and Desktop Apps Using .NET MAUI, you saw that .NET MAUI enables you to build cross-platform apps that work using native controls on each device and its operating system.

In this chapter, you will see how to get the best of all those worlds by building .NET MAUI apps that host Blazor components and...
