You’ll use the Blazor frontend framework to create a fun and exciting web application for plotting hiking routes. As you build up your new application, you’ll master the key features of Blazor, such as routing, forms and validation, and dynamic and reusable components. By the time you're done, you'll be ready to develop beautiful sites and apps that seamlessly execute your C# code natively in the browser.

About the technology
Create rich web frontends without relying on JavaScript. Microsoft’s Blazor framework uses WebAssembly to extend the ultra-popular ASP.NET platform. In Blazor, you can build interactive web components that run natively in the browser without plug-ins or transpilers. And because it’s C# end-to-end, it’s easy to share code between the server and your web UI.
About the book
Blazor in Action teaches you to create full-stack ASP.NET applications end-to-end in C#. You’ll start by learning to build Blazor web components, working through core topics like routing and forms. As you go, you’ll implement a hiking route web application that includes reusable code, integration with JavaScript libraries, and role-based security. To make sure your app is production ready, this practical book also covers state management, data persistence, and testing.
What's inside
Dynamic and reusable UI components
Sharing client and server code
Role-based security using Auth0
Persisting state using local browser storage

By now the best Blazor book I've ever read. It focuses on both principles behind the scenes and practical implementation examples. The whole book involves a single project and teaches you to improve it gradually, which is also very good.
The only little thing which may be frustrating is that all samples are for .NET6, you may need to search for new APIs of some 3rd-party libs if you're using .NET8. Anyway, changes are few and the author cannot control this.
I highly recommend this book for Blazor WebAssembly.

I purchased this book some months ago.
It takes the reader step by step through becoming familiar with the basics of Blazor.
It provides a good foundation to get going.
I have since been able to create my own model, view and controller to do things that Blazor was not directly able to do.
Have a go!

An excellent introduction to Blazor.
The example that goes along with the book is great and easy to follow.
Mr. Sainty has a deep depth of knowledge about Blazor and has an incredible knack for explaining and making the complex understandable.

A good introduction to Blazor. I hoped for more practical advice on how to handle the shortcomings of Blazor, like SEO.
