As well as finishing my second book, I’ve also been lucky enough to have reviewed 2 books so far this year. This landed on my letter box today. @engstromjimmy.bsky.social’s 4th edition of Web Development with Blazor. Looking to up your Blazor skills? Get a copy and work though! 💯 recommend!

Pretty cool, we updated a #Blazor project from .NET6 to .NET10, switched from Blazor Server to SSR, and updated the project to follow the new template structure in less than 10min :)

If you’ve ever been frustrated by Razor intellisense, slow feedback, or Hot Reload behaving… oddly, this explains what was going on under the hood. 📖 Blog: buff.ly/DrKiWP8 🎥 Video: buff.ly/NXg5TiQ

Why Hot Reload got better: Razor co-hosting explained
I had a chat with <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidwengier/">David Wengier</a> about Razor co-hosting. I’d heard the term before, but I didn’t really get what it meant in practice. After…

-Will Blazor meet the same fate as Silverlight? This is still to this day one of the most common questions I get. In this new video, I break down why Silverlight failed and why (spoilers) that fate does not apply to Blazor.

Don't spend 1 hour writing code when you can spend 10 hours failing to vibe code it. I honestly enjoy vibe coding, at least to a degree. It gives me a moment of rubber ducking at the same time as the problem (hopefully) gets solved. What do you think? Do you vibe code?

Final chapter of the book back from @engstromjimmy.bsky.social after his technical review. Pffttt. It was a lot. But rather than thinking how bad I am at this (my normal resposne) instead I went through 1 by 1. The chapter is already much better, & I'm actually looking forward to the 2nd pass!

I have read this book before, but I still get amazed how easy it is.
Also I think it is easy to get though a chapter, it is the right amount of steps so it doesn't feel exhausting .
