Explore and build complete, easy-to-follow web projects using Blazor. Each project includes a video example too.
Test your skills in building a weather app, an expense tracker, and a Kanban board with real-world applications.
Develop a deeper understanding on how to work with Blazor WebAssembly without spending too much time focusing on the theory.
Description
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.
By the end of this book, you will have experience and lots of know-how on how to build a wide variety of single-page web applications with .NET, Blazor WebAssembly, and C#.
Who is this book for?
This book is for .NET web developers who want to leverage the power of .NET and C# to write single-page web applications using Blazor WebAssembly without using JavaScript frameworks. To get started with this book, you’ll need at least beginner-level knowledge of the C# language, .NET framework, Microsoft Visual Studio, and web development concepts.
What you will learn
Discover the power of the C# language for both server-side and client-side web development

Blazor WebAssembly By Example 2nd edition by Toi B. Wright is an exceptional book for developers who want to get started with Blazor WebAssembly, a modern and powerful framework for building web applications using .NET and C#.The book is structured in a very comprehensive manner, starting with the basics of Blazor WebAssembly, then gradually building up the reader's understanding of the framework with more advanced topics. The author provides clear explanations and code examples that make it easy for developers to follow along and implement the concepts they learn.One of the strengths of the book is the real-world examples provided throughout. Toi shows how to build a variety of applications, such as a calculator, a weather app, and a movie review app, each demonstrating various aspects of the framework. These examples help readers to understand how to apply what they learn to their own projects.The book covers a wide range of topics, including components, data binding, forms, validation, routing, and authentication. Additionally, it goes into detail on how to integrate Blazor WebAssembly with other technologies, such as ASP.NET Core and Entity Framework Core, which is particularly helpful for developers looking to build complex web applications.Overall, the book is an excellent resource for developers who want to learn how to build powerful web applications with Blazor WebAssembly.

From time to time I like to go back to the basics by reading books like "Blazor WebAssembly byExample". I think this book is in the Goldilocks zone of introductory books as it offers a good balance between theoretical concepts and hands-on practice. I love that the author guides the audience through the learning steps, providing additional tips, notes, and references at the same time. If you are new to Blazor, this is definitely a great book to start with. If you're willing to keep up with the latest changes like me, I recommend it again, as this is another opportunity to migrate from other front-end frameworks to one that's more integrated with the .NET ecosystem.
