Blazor and Web Development (Single Page Applications) Part 1.9 - Summary of Part 1

This tutorial is Part 1 of a beginner's guide to Single Page, web application development with Blazor. It covers Blazor WebAssembly (WASM), Blazor Server, and Blazor Progressive Web Applications (PWAs). There are 5 parts to the course. This video summarizes Parts 3 to 8 of this series.

Minimal C# and HTML coding is required. Instead, the focus is on the underlying technologies. These include ASP.Net Core, WebAssembly (WASM), The Document Object Model (DOM) and RenderTree, SignalR, etc. For the full course, visit https://www.udemy.com/course/blazor-and-web-development-fundamentals-with-net-7.

Part 1 introduces the basics of Blazor Server, Blazor WebAssembly (WASM) and Blazor Progressive Web applications (PWAs). The concepts of Single Page Applications (SPA) and WebAssembly code are covered in detail. The stand-alone and ASP.Net Core Hosted hosting models are covered here as well.

Part 2 explores more of the underlying and supporting Blazor technologies. It covers an overview of ASP.Net Core (the libraries and the runtime), browser-server communication, and Blazor Server-side pre-rendering. In the process, the concepts of SignalR, the Document Object Model and the RenderTree abstraction is explained as well.

Parts 3 - 5 are more practical and hands-on. Blazor WASM, Server and Progressive Web Applications (stand-alone and ASP.Net Core Hosted) are created and run in Visual Studio. The project code structures for each of these applications are explained and supported with the analysis of the client-server communication using the browser developer tools.
