WebAssembly rusn in near-native performance, it's compact, quick to download and parse, designed for modern processors, and it's low-level binary compiled.
WebAssembly runs in the JavaScript VM, it's sandboxed, and has a memory-access constraints to ensure the browser and device's security
Even if you have never written in JavaScript, WebAssembly opens the door for you to build web apps using powerful languages like C/C++, C#, Rust, and more...
WebAssembly supports the DWARF debugging format. Debug using tools inside and outside the browser. And in Blazor debug directly from Visual Studio.
C# is a powerful and versatile web language with a rich syntax and features. It supports object-oriented, functional, and asynchronous programming styles.
C# in the browser was an experiment by Microsoft in 2017. It became Blazor in 2018, an official product in 2019, and a popular enterprise web framework since then.
With the power of Blazor and WebAssembly, you will be able to build astonishing applications with ease. Mastering Blazor WebAssembly you will guide you step by step from the starting point and introducing Blazor up to helping you test and launch your app to the cloud
Mastering Blazor WebAssembly is a complete resource that teaches you everything you need to build
client-side web applications using C# & .NET 7.0.
The book was written to ensure the perfect balance between the theortical and pratical parts. Details are taken in consideration to make sure that you will be able to understand the concepts and apply them in your projects.
Mastering Blazor WebAssembly features transition from the introduction, basics, and the core concepts of Blazor WebAssembly to the advanced topics and techniques that help you build efficient and reliable apps.
The content is written in .NET 7.0, but because the book only focused on WebAssembly, it's still valid for .NET 8.0. A blog post was released on my website you can find the differences between .NET 7.0 and .NET 8.0 and stay up-to-date
Check out: Mastering Blazor WebAssembly .NET 8.0 Book Notes
Introduces Blazor WebAssembly, guides you to set up a project and understand its structure, and covers essential topics such as environments and dependency injection.
Explains the concept of components in Blazor WebAssembly and SPAs, covering how to build, communicate, and style them.
Introduces advanced component types such as layouts, templated components, and dynamic components, showing you how to use Razor class library projects to build reusable components.
Explains the navigation process in a SPA and how to implement it in your Blazor apps. The chapter also covers how to use query parameters, send and receive data via a URL, and respond to navigation changes.
Explains how to create and submit forms in Blazor, use the built-in input components, validate user input, and create your own custom input component.
Explains how and when to use JS in your Blazor WebAssembly project and how to call JS code from your Blazor app, and vice versa. It also shows how to wrap an existing JS package into a Blazor component using JS.
Introduces the concept of state management in an SPA and shows three different techniques to preserve the state of your application – using local storage, in-memory, or a URL.
Provides an overview of web APIs and web API clients, showing you how to understand an existing web API and send HTTP requests to it from Blazor. It also covers delegating handlers, IHttpClientFactory, and how to organize API calls in your app.
Explains what authentication and authorization are, and then deep-dives into how Blazor handles authentication and how to develop your custom authentication flow with JSON Web Tokens. It also shows how to control the UI and the app logic based on the authentication state and call secured web API endpoints.
Shows you how to make your app reliable and the techniques to handle errors efficiently in your apps.
Provides you with advanced mechanisms in Blazor that help you make your app as efficient as possible, by increasing the rendering speed and reducing the app size for faster load time.
Explains in detail how Blazor renders components and manages the Document Object Model (DOM), introducing the concept of RenderTree. It also shows how you can improve your app performance by learning how things work under the hood.
Introduces the concept of component testing and the bUnit library, providing you with what you need to write efficient unit tests for your components. The chapter also covers End to End (E2E) testing and the Playwright package.
Shows the checks to do before publishing an app, introduces the Blazor WebAssembly ASP.NET Core Hosted app model, and guides you step by step to release your apps to Azure App Service and Azure Static Web Apps.

The book as a whole, and each chapter in part, takes the user from basics to deep understanding
through straightforward content and examples. Before reading this book, I contributed to a
Blazor project on a team because I knew C#. After reading, I can contribute to a Blazor project
because I know and understand Blazor and C#
There are three things that I appreciate about this book. First, each chapter (except the final)
ends with a "Further reading" section. This is a curated list of valuable resources to dig...

Really good content that requires some familiarity with modern .NET/ASP.NET Core concepts. I
liked how the focus was simply on WebAssembly as trying to tackle the complexities of both
Server/WASM under one hood can get confusing (as well as with .NET 8, this is becoming even more
confusing).
Great book if you're a tenured junior or mid-level developer already familiar with .NET and
looking to hone your Blazor craft....
