Book Description

If there's one word that describes the web development marketplace today, it's "competitive." Not only are there a plethora of different technologies vying for your attention, but there are also countless developers competing in the job market. Want to stand out from the crowd using a book that is as performant and lightweight as the fantastic framework that it's about? You're in luck.

gRPC-Powered Blazor WebAssembly Development is the inside track for your web development career. After flying through all the essentials of gRPC, Blazor, and Source Generators, you will be far from a beginner.

After a quick primer on the basics, you'll dive straight into building Blazor WASM applications, learning about everything from two-way bindings and Razor syntax to project setup. The practical emphasis continues throughout the book, as you steam through creating data repositories, working with REST, building and registering gRPC services, managing Source Generators, discovering C# and debugging best practices, and more. There is no shorter path to gRPC-enabled web development prowess.

By the end of this book, your practice in building Blazor applications with one of the most modern and powerful frameworks around will have given you a highly sought-after skill set that you can take in whichever direction you choose.
