Who Pays for Open Source?
Open source software plays a critical role in the infrastructure of most modern organizations. Yet despite this fact, the health and long term viability of most open source projects are fraught with risk and uncertainty. Establishing sustainable business models to support open source is a non-trivial problem. A few companies have demonstrated that it is possible to build a successful business around open source software, however far more open source maintainers are suffering from fatigue and burnout. In this session we are going to explore the challenges and opportunities related to open source sustainability, including a candid and unbiased view into the mechanics of these fragile ecosystems.
Build It Beautiful With Blazor!
Over the past 7 years Blazor has been a popular choice for building interactive web applications on the .NET platform. The ability to develop full stack web applications using C# rather than JavaScript has been a significant benefit for software developers.
However, when it comes to creating beautiful websites, you really need to embrace the pillars of modern web design which include HTML, CSS… and JavaScript. The lack of a simple integration story for JavaScript in Blazor resulted in very few public websites which showcase modern web design characteristics and behavior.
.NET 8 was a game changer for Blazor, as it was enhanced with a new Static Server Rendering (SSR) capability. SSR allows Blazor to leverage the performance and efficiency of server-side rendering and makes JavaScript a first-class citizen once again.
In this presentation we will demonstrate the amazing capabilities of Static Blazor how it can be used to build beautiful modern websites.
WebAssembly: The 4th Official Language of the Web
The Web and browser ecosystem is the most powerful and universal platform available today. The combination of HTML, CSS and JavaScript have been the three key ingredients since the 1990's. That being said, the demands of modern web experiences have pushed these technologies to their limits. WebAssembly has emerged as the new kid on the block, offering superior performance, security, and portability. In this session you will learn about the history of WebAssembly and how it is being positioned as the 4th official language of the web. You will also get some exposure to Blazor WebAssembly, Microsoft's powerful new framework for building interactive web UIs using C# instead of JavaScript.
Trailblazor: Building Dynamic Applications with Blazor
Blazor is a revolutionary app framework for building full-stack web apps with .NET. It provides a robust component model which offers exciting opportunities for developers to create dynamic web applications. In .NET 8 it also provides multiple render modes which can be combined within the same UI to provide superior performance and scalability as well as responsive interactivity. In this session we will demonstrate dynamic application development using Blazor in .NET 8.
Blazing A New Trail For .NET Web Developers using Blazor
Blazor is a revolutionary single-page app framework for building interactive web apps with .NET Core. Client-side Blazor uses WebAssembly, an open web standard that does not require plugins in order to run natively in a web browser. Server-side Blazor uses SignalR to host your application on a web server and provide a responsive and robust debugging experience. Blazor applications run in all modern web browsers, including mobile browsers. In this session we will explore a fully functional modular application framework developed using Blazor and .NET Core that supports both client-side and server-side hosting configurations.
Aloha .NET MAUI! Extending Apps To Mobile and Desktop With Blazor Hybrid
In this session we are going to showcase the exciting Blazor Hybrid support which is included in .NET MAUI. Specifically we will focus on the BlazorWebView control that allows Razor components to be rendered into an embedded Web View, allowing them to run natively on mobile and desktop devices. In this rendering model, Razor components load and execute very quickly and have full access to the native capabilities of the device through the .NET platform. We will also explain how you can get the most out of your code assets by leveraging the exact same web UI components across mobile, desktop, and web. And rather than using a simple "Hello World" scenario, all of these concepts will all be demonstrated using a robust open source modular application framework developed natively for Blazor and .NET MAUI.
