Overview
Writing modern web applications with a rich UI can be tedious. Blazor gives us .NET developers the chance to leverage our C# skills and build interactive web UIs. In this course, Modern Web Development with Blazor and .NET 5, you will gain the ability to build web applications using Blazor. We will explore: setting up your first Blazor application; how to work with an API and how data binding works; how to create components and integrate JavaScript components.
When you are finished this course, you will have the skills and knowledge to build a web application using Blazor.
**UPDATE**
.NET 6 is now available and is shipped with Visual Studio 2022. This course has been updated to show how you can create the project using Visual Studio 2022 and .NET 6.
Otherwise, everything in the project will work just the same if you are not inclined to upgrade, and even if you do.
Why Develop With Blazor?
The most popular JavaScript client-side web frameworks have been Angular, React, Vue and others. In this course, we keep it .NET by using Blazor, which is Microsoft’s response to that monopoly.
Blazor allows you to create a Single Page Application, on top of .NET Core and continue coding in C# (without needing to flip between C# and JavaScript too much). Blazor apps are composed of reusable web UI components implemented using C#, HTML, and CSS. Both client and server code is written in C#, allowing you to share code and libraries.
Blazor WebAssembly
Blazor can run your client-side C# code directly in the browser, using WebAssembly (WASM for short). Because it’s real .NET running on WebAssembly, you can re-use code and libraries from server-side parts of your application.
We will be exploring many intricacies of the Blazor life-cycle, data flow, JavaScript Interoperability and general development activities and nuances.
Deploy To Microsoft Azure Cloud
Azure Web App Service is key to deploying the API and Blazor Server Applications. We will also enlist the use of Azure SQL for Database to support our API.
Build A Strong Foundation in .NET 5 Programming With Blazor:

•Repository Pattern and Dependency Injection
•Progressive Web Application (PWA) with Blazor
•Understand the REST API and Client UI design principles
•Global Error Handling with Http Interceptor
•Understand C# and .Net Core Web Syntax
•Understand how to customize Blazor app layouts
•Understand User Authentication and Authorization in Blazor
•Understand Identity Core and Identity Server
•Handle Blazor Application User Authentication State
•Consume REST Web API in Blazor Application
•Manage Packages with NuGet Manager
•Setup GitHub for Source Control
•Deploy Applications and Database to Microsoft Azure
PREREQUISITES
In order to take this course, you should have at least 3 months experience programming in C#. If you need to strengthen your C# fundamentals, you can take my C# beginner course C# Console and Windows Forms Development with LINQ & ADO .NET
Content and Overview
To take this course, you will need to have some knowledge of Object Oriented Programming, if not C#. Even if you do not have much exposure to the .NET development stack, this course is very beginner friendly and chock full of development tips.
This is a huge course. Over 10 hours of premium content, but smartly broken up to highlight a set of related activities based on each module in the application that is being built. We will also look at troubleshooting and debugging errors as we go along; implementing best practices; writing efficient logic and understanding why developers do things the way they do. Your knowledge will grow, step by step, throughout the course and you will be challenged to be the best you can be.
We don’t do things the perfect way the first time; that is not the reality of writing code. We make mistakes and point them out and fix them around them. By doing this, we develop proficiency in using debugging tools and techniques. By the time you have finished the course you will have moved around in Visual Studio and examined logic and syntax errors so much, that it will be second nature for you when working in the .NET environment. This will put your new learned skills into practical use and impress your boss and coworkers.
The course is complete with working files hosted on GitHub, with the inclusion of some files to make it easier for you to replicate the code being demonstrated. You will be able to work alongside the author as you work through each lecture and will receive a verifiable certificate of completion upon finishing the course.
