Blazor lets .NET developers build interactive, full-featured web applications using C#, bringing modern web development into your existing .NET ecosystem. This session is designed for developers new to Blazor who want a practical, hands-on introduction to the framework.

We’ll walk through setting up your development environment, exploring project structure, and creating your first Blazor app. You’ll learn about render modes, from static server-side rendering to the latest Interactive Auto mode. You’ll also see how to work with forms and manage data effectively. You’ll learn how to leverage the NavigationManager to make routing simple and pass data between pages. Finally, you’ll learn to design reusable components that provide the backbone for robust, maintainable applications.

Along the way, we’ll explore the Blazor component lifecycle, event handling, and performance best practices to help you create responsive and dynamic web applications.

By the end of this session, you’ll be ready to confidently build interactive Blazor applications, understand the key concepts and patterns behind components, and apply practical techniques that set you up for success in modern .NET web development.
