First Steps with Blazor – Simple Talk

It is always fun to play with new toys! This article from Julio Sampaio introduces you to Blazor – Web pages done in C#.

Blazor stands for Browser + Razor, which gives you an idea of what’s behind the new framework. Razor is the ASP.NET programming syntax that Microsoft uses to create its C# (or VB.NET) dynamic pages. Now, you can create web applications using only C# and run them in a web browser.

Quo Vadis, MSMQ and .NET Core?

“Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ) is currently not available for .NET Core. While other message queuing systems are generally preferred, many enterprise applications were based on MSMQ and this creates a problem for teams looking to migrate from .NET Framework to .NET Core or the upcoming .NET 5. But a recent pull request for Reference Source may change the situation.”

This is the second post in a five-post series on C# 9 features in-depth.
