FirstBlazorApp

Trying out Blazor for the first time? Demo this app for first-time introduction. Dedicated to all Blazor-first events in Nigeria 🇳🇬

💡 Introduction

Blazor is a feature of ASP.NET, the popular web development framework that extends the .NET developer platform with tools and libraries for building interactive web UIs using C# instead of JavaScript. Both client and server code is written in C#, allowing you to share code and libraries.

📑 Getting started

.NET Foundation projects are well maintained, easy to adopt, and have great documentation. However, Javascript can be a subtle language for .NET teams to take on in a short time-frame for building out rapidly scaling modern web apps. Blazor can be quite the alternative.

❇️❇️❇️ Prerequisites

Before continuing to run this project on your local workstation, make sure you have the following Software setup:

• .NET SDK 6.0x (preferred)
