Server-side Blazor in Action

Not everybody loves JavaScript. Don't get me wrong. I don't hate JavaScript. But I love C#. I always dreamed about writing my frontend code in C#. Tell you what? It's possible. Even without WebAssembly. In this talk, we will dive into the the world of server-side Blazor. After a short walk through the default project template, we will create a custom component. There are only a few slides used for the introduction. The rest of the time will be spent in the code to see server-side Blazor development in action.
