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.

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