Book review - Building Blazor WebAssembly Applications with gRPC

In this post, I want to share my review of another Blazor book I read recently, Building Blazor WebAssembly Applications with gRPC this time from Vaclav Perakek, published by Packt Publishing and available on Amazon as well as other e-book subscription platforms. If you have been following me for a while, you know I’m gradually learning more about coding and developing applications, especially using the Blazor .NET framework. What intrigued me even more with this book, is the gRPC integration.

Deploying .NET6.0 Blazor App using dotnet commandline

Hello readers, About 2 months ago, I promised I would start writing down my adventures in the DotNet Blazor development world, which you can read about in my first and second post. Welcome to “Coding Apps in Blazor from a non-developer standpoint - Part 3” This next article will cover about the same as the previous one, deploying the Blazor Server app template, but instead of using Visual Studio GUI for this, I’ll use the dotnet commandline tool this time.

Coding Apps in Blazor from a non-developer standpoint

Hello readers, The ones who know me already, know I have used traditional on-premises datacenter infrastructure for the first 15 years of my career, before I jumped onto Azure public cloud. Yes, I was an infra guy. And sometimes I still think I am, although I’m more and more shifting to containers and devops over the last 3 years.

Dotnet tool install dotnet-ef failing with unauthorized

Hi all, I hope you all have great holidays this time around, giving you the opportunity to spend time with your family as well as having the opportunity to learn some new skills, which in my case means learning Blazor, a Framework within the DotNet family, allowing for “any-client” applications (browser, mobile device). My learning journey involves building a front-end Web App, connecting to a SQL (Azure) database back-end. To make this work, I want to use the SQL Server Entity Framework.
