Today, web developer combines everything from backend logic to the frontend interactivity. Technically, this means developers should be proficient in at least two different languages – one for the server like PHP, Java, etc. and another for the client. However, what if we know there is now a new way to build interactive web applications using just #C?
This is what Blazer offers. It is Microsoft’s modern web framework. And the best part is that it runs in your browser using WebAssembly which means no JavaScript required.
Blazor is a single-page application framework. It is developed by Microsoft under the ASP.Net Core umbrella. It enables developers to build interactive web UIs. Blazor is an integral part of the mission of Microsoft to unify .Net development.
With Blazor, you can use an existing C# skill to write server-side and client-side code. You also get to leverage all the .NET libraries and tools you are familiar with. That is a huge productivity boost. This is an easier learning curve for .NET developers.
Remember, browsers do not natively understand C#. They speak JavaScript. Blazor brides this gap.
The answer lies in WebAssembly. It is a low-level assembly-like language. The language runs in modern browsers at near-native speed. You can run your .NET assemblies inside the browser. It is safe, fast and does not need any plugins.
There are two unique hosting models Blazor is available in:
This model is downloaded and runs inside the browser. There are no server round trips for UI interactions. It is capable offline. It can be hosted on static file servers or CDNs. There is one more advantage – one does not need a full-blown server backend.
Your app runs on the server and uses SignalR to communicate with the browser. Only UI diffs might be sent between server and client. There are many advantages offered by this model. The download size is much smaller. The initial load is faster. One has a full access to server resources. There is no WebAssembly dependency on the client. This model is ideal for enterprise apps where speed, sensitivity of data and server control are top priorities.
You need .NET Core SDK 3.1+ (preferably .NET 6 or later). Also, you need Visual Studio 2019/2022, Visual Studio Code or just the .NET CLI.
There are many things that make Blazor stand out.
Blazor thus represents a significant shift for .NET developers. It removes barrier between frontend and backend development because it is able to build rich UIs with the language developer already knows – #C. So, whether your goal is to build enterprise dashboards, customer portals or mobile-first apps, Blazor will provide you a unified and consistent development experience. The best way to master this technology is to enroll in the right ASP.NET Core Blazor Developer Training Course.
VTechLabs brings to you a comprehensive ASP.NET Core Blazor Developer Training Course in Vadodara focused on practical and real-world applications. The curriculum is structured to guide you from foundational concepts to advanced topics:
