Exciting News: My New Book, "Building Progressive Web Apps with Blazor," Is Here!


 


After months of hard work, I’m thrilled to announce the release of my new book, "Building Progressive Web Apps with Blazor." This book is designed to empower developers to harness the power of Blazor and .NET to create modern, user-friendly Progressive Web Apps (PWAs).

Why This Book Matters šŸ“š

Progressive Web Apps are revolutionizing web development by combining the best features of web and mobile apps. They offer offline functionality, fast performance, and native-like experiences—all while being accessible through a browser, and with Blazor, Microsoft’s game-changing web framework, you can build PWAs using C# and .NET, simplifying the development process and unifying your codebase.

This book bridges the gap between concept and implementation, offering practical insights, real-world examples, and actionable steps to help you build PWAs with confidence.

What You’ll Learn in This Book šŸ”

Here’s a sneak peek at some of the key topics covered in the book:

  • Getting Started with Blazor and PWAs: Learn the basics of Blazor and the core principles of Progressive Web Apps.
  • Optimizing Performance: Discover how to implement lazy loading, minimize Blazor WebAssembly size, and use AOT compilation.
  • Offline-First Design: Master service workers, caching strategies, and offline data synchronization to ensure your apps work seamlessly without an internet connection.
  • Real-World Case Studies: Explore detailed examples of Blazor PWAs, like e-commerce apps, task managers, and fitness trackers.
  • Advanced Features: Dive into topics like push notifications, IndexedDB, real-time updates with SignalR, and Blazor’s future roadmap.
  • Deploying Your Blazor PWA: Learn to deploy your PWA to Azure, GitHub Pages, Firebase Hosting, and more.

Why Blazor for PWAs? šŸ’»

Blazor brings the power of C# and .NET to web development, letting you write full-stack applications with a single language. By using Blazor for PWAs, you can:

  • Simplify development workflows with shared code across client and server.
  • Leverage .NET's vast ecosystem of libraries and tools.
  • Build scalable, secure, and high-performance applications.
  • Focus on innovation instead of juggling multiple languages and frameworks.

Who Is This Book For? šŸ™Œ

Whether you're a seasoned developer or just starting with Blazor, this book is packed with insights to take your skills to the next level. If you’re passionate about creating modern web apps that stand out, this book is for you.

Yes, Blazor Server can scale!

Image
From the very beginning of the release of Blazor Server naysayers have incorrectly stated that Blazor Server can not scale.  They usually state that the limit is 5,000 concurrent users. There are several misconceptions and wrong assumptions about their statement.  Let's break it down and get a better understanding of Blazor server-side scaling. What is the "limit" for users When Microsoft talks about the need to scale an application, what they are saying is that when a normal response for any concurrent user is taking longer than 200 ms, the system is not performant and needs to scale. We will accept that definition: If any normal user response is taking longer than 200 ms, the system needs to scale for concurrent users. By a normal response, we are referring to a page get, a post, etc.  Large database access requests would not be included in this measurement. What is scaling There are 2 common ways to scale, scale, out horizontally, and scale-up, up vertically. In our di...

Blazor new and improved Search Box

 Back in March, I posted a new Blazor data grid with a search box ( see post ).  Since then I have found a new and improved search box that I wanted to implement.  The search part is implemented the same.  What I added was the ability for the user to narrow down the search by selecting which field they wanted to search on.  This will help the user find what they are looking for and in a large collection, the search will end up being faster. The goal of making the change was to make the search box a new component and have it handle the UI functionality part. Prep Work Here is the prep work I did before adding the search box: Started with the source code from the post listed above. Upgraded the project to .Net 5 Upgraded the Nuget packages that were out of date. Ensured every build and run. Change to a Component I wanted to create a component for the search box so I could use it in other applications.   1. Create a Folder under UIControls called "SearchB...

Blazor - Displaying an Image

I wanted to be able to display an image file within a Blazor page.  During my research I realized that there is very little difference between displaying an image in Blazor as compared to displaying it in a HTML page.  So, I decided to add a couple of other features to my application.   The features I have added are:   1. Get a list of files on the server   2. Display at list in a Blazor page   3. Provide a UI effect to zoom in on the image   I will be using the Blazor Server configuration for this application.  We can do this with the Client-side configuration, but you need an API to access the server files.  I have created a folder under WWWROOT called DsiplayImages where I have placed several images I will be working with.  I have created a service that will access the image files from the server.  In addition, I have created a model for the file properties I a need.   ...
