Building a Marvel Hero catalog app using Blazor Web Assembly
Introduction This article describes all the steps on how to develop a Marvel Hero catalog app, using Blazor Web Assembly, and is a companion guide to the Festive Tech Calendar 2022 session I presented. This app introduces Blazor .NET development, and more specifically how to easily create a Single Page App using HTML, CSS and API calls to an external API Service at https://developer.marvel.com
This post is a short one, but something that has been bugging me for a while, where I didnāt even know how to fix it.
As I am deploying a lot of different Azure Resources every week while delivering Azure trainings, I also run a lot of deletions during the week, or at least by the end of the week. To repeat about the same process the week after when doing another Azure training delivery.
In this post, I want to share my review of another Blazor book I read recently, Building Blazor WebAssembly Applications with gRPC this time from Vaclav Perakek, published by Packt Publishing and available on Amazon as well as other e-book subscription platforms.
If you have been following me for a while, you know Iām gradually learning more about coding and developing applications, especially using the Blazor .NET framework.
For about 3 years now, Iāve been running this personal blog site using Hugo, running on Azure Static Storage Sites and Azure Front Door as load balancer/TLS protection service.
About 18 months back, Microsoft released Azure Static Web Apps, a platform built for exactly that, hosting Static Web sites, such as Vue, React, Angular, Svelte, .NET Blazor, and alsoā¦ Hugo :).
As I had to migrate my resources to a new Azure subscription and tenant, I thought this was a perfect moment to migrate to SWA. While the process was surprisingly smooth, I wanted to blog about it, to help and convince others who are in the same situation as myself, giving confidence how easy it actually is.
Hey folks,
Earlier this week, I wrote about how I migrated my Hugo blog site from Azure Storage Account-based site to the newer Azure Static Web Apps with Hugo.
While this was a smooth process, both migrating the actual site content, as well as transferring the public domain name, the piece missing was the statistics. I always used Azure Application Insights for this, but specifically for Azure Static Web Apps, App Insights is only supported when using Functions (as per this article on the Microsoft docs). Which I donāt have with Hugo.
As most of you know already, I enjoy writing technical (Azure related) books. So if you are wondering why itās been quiet lately, there is a good reason for it.
Actually, I was writing on my 9th book, making it 9 books in 9 years straight, but something got in-between the writing process and publishing. Itās called US Visa regulations :). Beginning this year, January 5th actually, I relocated from Belgium to Redmond, WA for Microsoft Corp. The work Visa Iām on allows me to only work for Microsoft, which obviously makes sense. But that meant I had to stop my side-activity as a book author with Apress.
Hey awesome people,
For the ones who know me, it shouldnāt be a surprise Iām interested in DevOps, mainly using Azure DevOps and GitHub as core technologies, as well as several side-solutions that integrate with them. So when I heard about the DevOps Workflow Generator, a new free tool from the Microsoft Research Lab division, I wanted to give it a spin.
The Concepts of DevOps DevOps according to MicrosoftĆ¢ā¬ā¢s Definition: The Union of People, Processes and Products, to enable continuous delivery of value to the business
Hey folks,
Welcome to #AzureSpringClean, an initiative from Joe Carlyle and Thomas Thornton which celebrates its 3rd edition this year. Iām thrilled to be part of this again for the 2nd time this year. My first article had security in mind, explaining the difference between Azure Service Principals and Managed Identity.
For this second article, Iām staying in the security focus, helping you understand DevSecOps, and how you can optimize security in your application deployment lifecycle, by āshifting leftā.
Hey friends,
Welcome to #AzureSpringClean, an initiative from Joe Carlyle and Thomas Thornton which celebrates its 3rd edition this year. Iām thrilled to be part of this again as well, helping you understanding the confusion and difference between Azure Service Principals and Azure Managed Identities. As I recently relocated from Belgium to Redmond, and didnāt have all my video/audio equipment up for a recording, I decided to share this information in a blog post.
As most of you know, I enjoy writing technical (Azure related) books, but over the last year, I didnāt focus that much on writing myself, but supporting other authors in their writing-journey as well as performing technical reviewing of the book they are writing.
The one I want to highlight in this post, has an interesting back-story. Mid 2019, I got approached by Packt, to write an update to their best-seller title āAzure Strategy and Implementation Guideā, in sponsorship with Microsoft. That was the third edition, which got released Oct 2019. About a year later, I got asked to write another update. As I was a Microsoft employee in meantime, and the book got sponsored by Microsoft, it could be a bit tricky :), so I decided to pull out of the writing process, avoiding conflicts of interest.
