Key benefits

  • 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
  • Build your first Blazor WebAssembly application with the Blazor WebAssembly App project template
  • Learn how to debug a Blazor WebAssembly app, and use ahead-of-time compilation before deploying it on Microsoft's cloud platform
  • Use templated components and the Razor class library to build and share a modal dialog box
  • Learn how to use JavaScript with Blazor WebAssembly
  • Build a progressive web app (PWA) to enable native app-like performance and speed
  • Secure a Blazor WebAssembly app using Azure Active Directory
  • Gain experience with ASP.NET Web APIs by building a task manager app

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.

I’ve been using .NET for years but hadn’t used Blazor at all. I’ve watched parts of videos on the Blazor over the years but have always stuck with vuejs and ASP.NET (core) MVC for my web development work.I decided it was time to take a more serious look at Blazor WebAssembly.This book was able to get me up to speed very quickly with where this technology is and what it’s capable of. Toi’s wring style is warm and easily digestible. The book is a very easy to read. As a more seasoned developer, I was able to move through the book at a fairly fast clip. However, this book is quite suitable for a beginner.The book does assume some familiarity with programming in general and C# specifically, but the knowledge bar for this book is much lower than most. Toi has great attention to detail and walks the reader through installing all the tools used in the book, including Visual Studio Community Edition 2022, .NET 7.0 and SQL Server 2022 Express Edition. So that is to say that this book is _extremely_ approachable for people fairly new to programming.The book has a couple of intro chapters to paint the lay of the land for Blazor WebAssembly (which I found particularly helpful) and then it explores the topic through a bunch of hands-on examples. Toi provides very detailed instructions for doing each example, and all the code is available ahead of time from github as well. The examples are well chosen so that they touch on a wide variety of use cases.The examples start off pretty simple and progress to more complex situations. Since I had never even created the default WebAssemply App in Visual Studio, it was great that she started there and explained the structure of that project and the purpose of each file in the project. Having that solid base of understanding was super helpful for going through the other projects.The book includes a 40 page chapter on using Blazor WebAssembly to build Progressive Web Apps (PWAs), which is good since I sometimes wonder if that will be the largest use case of Blazor WebAssembly in the future. Only time will tell.If you are looking to better understand Blazor WebAssembly, and like me, you haven’t done anything with Blazor WebAssembly yet, then you will almost certainly like this book.

As someone new to Blazor WebAssembly, I wasn't sure how to get started. However, this book does a great job of being approachable for a beginner such as myself, and explains concepts like hosting models and project structures very clearly.Toi provides excellent examples with easy-to-follow steps for applications such as a simple game, shopping cart, kanban board, and expense tracker.Personally, I'm looking forward to extending these examples to create my own games and apps, and will use these examples as strong starting points when creating similar apps in future. Highly recommended.

Super excited to complete reading this book. It’s one of the most practical introductions to Blazor web assembly I have ever read. This book gives you hands-on practical usage of Blazor Web Assembly. The author, Toi B. Wright, explains each concept in great detail.The author explains the difference between Blazor server, Blazor web assembly, and Blazor hybrid, and when one is more applicable than the other. Starts up gradually with the basics of components, directives, state, and how events are handled using C#. Once the building blocks are covered, Toi takes it a step further by diving into building multiple projects that demonstrate the true feature of single page applications with Blazor, like building a weather app and making it a progressive web app. Other projects included an expense tracker, a Kanban board, and a task manager. The projects allowed me to reinforce my learning. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to take their C# and .Net skills to the front end and build applications utilizing C# at every layer.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.
