Blazor Train by Carl Franklin

Blazor is Microsoft’s implementation of WebAssembly, that lets you write your interactive web applications in C# instead of JavaScript.
We use Blazor successfully at work to get the extra responsiveness for our power users. Since it is C#, everyone on the team can help develop that part of the application and it takes significantly less code compared to the Vue.js application we had before.

As of writing this post, Carl published 73 episodes of Blazor Train. The episodes vary from 7 to 55 minutes and most come with code samples you can run on your machine. I suggest you watch the first few episodes to get the basics of Blazor and then pick the topics you are interested in. If something pops up that you do not understand, you can always go back and watch an older episode in which Carl explains that part of Blazor.

Blazor Train is for me a funny way to learn Blazor. Especially the density of useful information that you learn along the way is incredible. After the first 15 minutes I understand where the errors where that lead to the devastating performance problems a big consulting firm in Switzerland blogged about (hint: don’t run performance measurements in the debug mode).

If you want to learn Blazor I can highly recommend spending a few hours with Blazor Train. It is worth your time and will help you through the tricky parts of Blazor.
