Michael Washington on Blazor in .NET 6 - Episode 168
Azure & DevOps Podcast
Azure Is a Big, Key Thing Premace
Everything i do, even in my personal no blogging, open source, a community, stuff, is on azure. So the services that azure provides allows people like me to stay in that microsopt. Making it work with blazer is something that i've written some articles about. It was really kind of one of the hardest integrations i've ever done.
This week, Michael Washington is once again joining the podcast to discuss all things Blazor! He previously joined the podcast on episode 88, where he discussed the state of Blazor back in May 2020.
Michael is an ASP.NET and C# programmer who has extensive knowledge in process improvement, billing systems, and student information systems. He also is the founder of two websites, AiHelpWebsite.com and BlazorHelpWebsite.com — both fantastic resources that help empower developers. Michael resides in Los Angeles, California, with his son Zachary and wife, Valerie.
Hot off the heels of .NET Conf, there is tons to discuss regarding Blazor and .NET 6! Michael shares the key announcement that developers should be looking out for, the announcements he was personally most excited for, and his advice for those looking to just get started with Blazor. He also speaks about some of his recently published books on the topics of Blazor Oqtane and Blazor WebAssembly, speaks about the current state of third-party UI controls and components, and where you can go to take an even deeper dive into everything he discusses today.
