I’ve been working with Blazor Client (WASM) a fair amount recently and a couple of days ago someone asked me about how to load configuration from a file. I’d never had the need for that type of configuration before but it got me curious about what was possible. After a little searching I …
My first exposure to Blazor was prior to it having a name. In late 2017 I watched a recording of Steve Sanderson’s NDC Oslo 2017 presentation Web Apps can’t really do that, can they? He discussed four emerging web technologies being supported by the major browser manufacturers. One of those …
Several months ago I found myself contemplating the creation of yet another HTML client, this time to help in prototyping a larger application concept I was working on. I wanted the client to be responsive and I didn’t want to put a lot of work into it. There’s a wide variety of …
The first version of Visual Studio I used heavily was VS 2003 and since then I’ve used every version typically installing them immediately upon RTM, sometimes even before. I’ve loved every version and each one has become progressively better IMO. Historically I’ve spent very little …
I’ve been playing around with TypeScript for several weeks now and, overall, my early impressions are quite favorable. The typing system and its integration with Visual Studio are very nice and seem quite natural to me after working with C# for the last several years. I also like that it …

Understand first, I’ve only been working with Angular in my free time over the last couple weeks. With that said I must admit I’m REALLY impressed! Very exciting framework. I dove into Knockout quite extensively a while back and I have high regard for that framework. However, I’m …
Let me start by stating, emphatically, I love CSLA.NET! I first became aware of this excellent framework in 2008 when my boss dropped Rocky’s book Expert C# 2008 Business Objects on my desk. In very short order I recognized the enormous benefits CSLA could provide to developers like myself who …
I’ve never been a fan of JavaScript. Not because of the language itself. Syntactically it’s a lot like C# (which I love) and functionally it provides a wealth of features for web programming. My issue has always been with actually writing the code. Due to the fact that JavaScript …
My first experience with a “browser” was Mosaic around 1994 in the Washington State University computer labs. I viewed it as a novel and somewhat intriguing toy but I wasn’t overly impressed. Within a year I was sitting in a physics lab on the WSU campus browsing early web sites …
