Blazor WebAssembly helps developers build web applications without the need for JavaScript, plugins, or add-ons. With its continued growth in popularity, getting started with Blazor now can open doors to new career paths and exciting projects – and Blazor WebAssembly by Example will make your first steps easier. This is a project-based guide that will teach you how to build single-page web applications with Blazor, focusing heavily on the practical over the theoretical by providing detailed step-by-step instructions for each project. The author also includes a video for each project showing her following the step-by-step instructions, so readers can use them if they're unsure about any particular step. In this updated edition, you'll start by building simple standalone web applications and gradually progress to developing more advanced hosted web applications with SQL Server backends. Each project will cover a different aspect of the Blazor WebAssembly ecosystem, such as Razor components, JavaScript interop, security, event handling, debugging on the client, application state, and dependency injection. The book’s projects get more challenging as you progress, but you don’t have to complete them in order, which makes this book a valuable resource for beginners as well as those who just want to dip into specific topics.

Preface

Blazor WebAssembly is a framework that enables you to build single-page web applications that use C# on the client instead of JavaScript. It is built on the popular and robust ASP.NET framework. Blazor WebAssembly does not rely on plugins or add-ons for you to use C# in the browser. It only requires that the browser support WebAssembly, which all modern browsers do.

In this book, you will complete practical projects that will teach you the fundamentals of the Blazor WebAssembly framework. Each chapter includes a stand-alone project with detailed step-by-step instructions. Each project is designed to highlight one or more important concepts concerning Blazor WebAssembly.

By the end of the book, you will have experience with building both simple stand-alone web applications and hosted web applications with SQL Server backends.

This is the second edition of this book. In this edition, we have added chapters on debugging, deploying to Microsoft Azure, and securing your application using Microsoft Azure Active Directory. Also, all the projects in the book have been updated to use the latest version of the Blazor WebAssembly framework.
