Overview of this book

Building Blazor WebAssembly Applications with gRPC will take you to the next level in your web development career. After working through all the essentials of gRPC, Blazor, and source generators, you will be far from a beginner C# developer and would qualify as a developer with intermediate knowledge of the Blazor ecosystem. After a quick primer on the basics of Blazor technology, REST, gRPC, and source generators, you’ll dive straight into building Blazor WASM applications. You’ll learn about everything from two-way bindings and Razor syntax to project setup. The practical emphasis continues throughout the book as you steam through creating data repositories, working with REST, and building and registering gRPC services. The chapters also cover how to manage source generators, C# and debugging best practices, and more. There is no shorter path than this book to solidify your gRPC-enabled web development knowledge. By the end of this book, your knowledge of building Blazor applications with one of the most modern and powerful frameworks around will equip you with a highly sought-after skill set that you can leverage in the best way possible.

Summary

After reading this chapter, you should be able to understand the difference between REST and gRPC APIs, the reasons why they can coexist, and why gRPC can’t replace REST now or perhaps never. But still, gRPC holds an important place in the development process, which is why I have written this book.

We also covered the topic of debugging source generators and mentioned where we can learn more about testing the generators themselves.

By now, you should be able to make a solid decision regarding whether to use REST API or gRPC in your upcoming projects, or whether your current project can benefit from gRPC. You should be able to find code in your project that you can generate with source generators.

At this moment, I can’t say anything more than I hope that you have learned something from this book and that it has opened up a new direction for your views on .NET, Blazor, WebAssembly, gRPC, and source generators.

Thank you for taking this journey with...
