Book Description

Blazor WebAssembly has become the trend in the world of software development, as a revolutionary technology that allows you to develop rich user interface web applications using C# without JavaScript. Blazor WebAssembly can also be run natively in the browser & mobile apps shortly with .NET MAUI; this adds a superweapon in the toolbox for .NET developers and open the doors for the JavaScript community to have a stable framework to build Single Page Applications, maintained by Microsoft and driven by the community.

Mastering Blazor WebAssembly is a complete resource that shows you everything you need from A to Z to build Client-Side web applications using C# & .NET 6.0. Throughout this book, you will discover the anatomy of a Blazor WebAssembly project, the build, style, and structure of the components, and will start implementing forms to catch the input and collect user's data, as well as deep dive into the topics of navigating between the pages, handling complex scenarios like RenderTrees, writing efficient unit tests, using variant security methods, and publishing the app to different providers all following a practical fashion.

By the end of this book, you will have all the required skills to build web apps with Blazor WebAssembly and have the basics for a future in mobile development with .NET MAUI & Blazor.
