Have you heard WebAssembly is the future of web development? Well, that was 2019…in 2020 it has become the present. Join me to see how you can break the bonds of JavaScript and TypeScript to build modern Single Page Applications (SPA) using C# .NET end-to-end. Blazor, combined with .NET Standard libraries, brings us closer than ever to the “Holy Grail” of software development. We’re talking about being able to write code once, share it across server and client applications, and run those apps cross‑platform.
In this session, we dive into how to architect your Blazor line-of-business (LOB) application so it can easily grow and adapt to changes in requirements over time. Paul will share lessons learned and code samples developed over months of his own “trailblazing” with Blazor. In the era of 5G, this exciting technology will supplant the need for many native mobile applications.

Does Blazor live up to the hype? Come see for yourself why there is so much buzz around this technology!
