Join Kevin, a seasoned developer with roots tracing back to the 1980s and a rich history with Microsoft technologies since the late 1990s, as he shares his transformative journey from Blazor skeptic to enthusiastic advocate. As a Microsoft MVP for over a decade and a former Silverlight MVP, Kevin has spent years championing and teaching UI development using frameworks like TypeScript, Angular, and React. Initially, Kevin was hesitant about Blazor and advised against it, both to developers and clients. However, his perspective has radically changed, leading him to embrace Blazor as a powerful and efficient platform for modern web development.

In this engaging and demo-heavy session, Kevin will recount his initial introduction to Blazor and detail the pivotal moments that shifted his view. He will highlight the tools and development environments that have enhanced his Blazor experience and demonstrate how he leverages AI to streamline UI development. Attendees will gain insights into the Blazor platform through practical demonstrations, making complex concepts accessible even to those new to Blazor. Kevin’s talk aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of Blazor's capabilities and offer valuable resources to ease the transition for developers exploring this cutting-edge technology.

Join me as I introduce you to Blazor and why I now love it. You will hear a bit about my background and my initial concerns on the platform and how I have come to embrace Blazor and it's ecosystem.
