In this talk, you'll see what it's like to use the latest .NET 5 features to create a Blazor UI, and preview some exciting .NET 6 enhancements we have in the pipeline. You'll see a truly dramatic improvement in the developer experience, some runtime features that enable more robustness and performance than ever before, and helpful tips that can be applied in existing .NET 5-based applications. And of course, it’s demos all the way.

If you're new to Blazor, this will be a great way to get a sense of what it's all about. If you're already a seasoned expert, this is your chance to find out what's coming next.

Blazor in 2021

.NET


Build your brand whilst still using those great features that attracted you to your chosen platform in the first place.

With the joint power of client-side Blazor and static web apps in Azure, you no longer need to run web servers or App Services in order to host your site online. You can get set up in minutes!

In this session, we'll set up a new Blazor Wasm Application and Azure Function, deploy to Azure and then fetch blog posts from dev.to to link to them in our page.

We'll also talk about next steps - and how to eat the elephant one bite at a time - to create your personal brand!

What if I told you there was a way to migrate one page at a time, keeping everything else running normally? Well, there is. In this talk I’ll show you how to include Microsoft’s reverse proxy in an ASP.NET Core MVC application to proxy requests to your old ASP.NET app, but intercept specific pages and render them using shiny new Razor. With this approach, you can gradually migrate and upgrade your application at the same time as maintaining and supporting it. It may take years, but you’ll get there in the end!

Only now you are expected to manage people and not just code. What motivated you to improve doesn't seem to always work on your team. So what do you do? We will explore the art of managing talented people and learning what the human needs for guidance and support from their leader.

But as you are doing that, what are some features, you realize will be useful in your next service? What are some out-of-the-box capabilities you wish you had been looking for while picking a framework? In this talk I am going to go over some very developer-friendly features that make server side application development and maintenance seamless for teams building and using them alike!
