1 Starting Your Blazor Journey

We live in exciting times, as .NET developer’s life has never been better. We can create apps for any operating system be it Windows, Linux, iOS, Android or macOS. Of course, we can also build amazing web-based applications with ASP.NET. MVC, Razor Pages, and WebAPI have allowed us to create robust scalable and reliable systems for years, but there has long been a missing piece to the puzzle.

One thing all of ASP.NETs web solutions have in common is that they are server based. We’ve never been able to leverage the power of C# and .NET to write client-side applications, this has always been the domain of JavaScript – but not anymore.
