learning blazor for the new job...

thoughts?

i know everyone here hates mac and therefore everything microsoft = good so i'm expecting thousands of upvotes

(i secretely harbor the idea it's like a more modern PHP but you didn't hear that from me)

Can you share your experience?

Never got the chance to learn and use tbh even though I use dotnet core for WebAPI

It looks interesting, particularly if you want to get away from JS.

How is debugging so far? Also I assume that you are more limited in library usage, right?

@ars1 > "How is debugging so far?" > Its OK. I've had good luck with Visual Studio's hot reload, others at my shop haven't. I suspect 90% of the issues has been the developer's unrealistic expectations and something their doing wrong. TL;DR, they wouldn't expect the same behavior when debugging a WPF app, why the heck would they think expect better results in Blazor? Again, big TL;DR

"Also I assume that you are more limited in library usage, right?">

Depends on what you want to do. If the library is C# and not specific to platform (you can't use a WPF library), you're good to go.

Like a lot of web client platforms, the authorization/authentication can become a quagmire of complexity.

Don't wait until the last minute to decide "All done...now lets add security"

If you know you'll need logins, roles, etc. plan for it now and get all that plumbing in place.

Good luck and share your blazor rants.
