I am happy to announce that the updated edition of my free ebook, Blazor Succinctly, published by Syncfusion, is now available.

What the Book Covers

Rather than walking through disconnected snippets, the book covers the core elements of Blazor and then puts them to work by building a complete sample application: a Syncfusion Help Desk.

Along the way, the sample application demonstrates the things you actually have to deal with in a production app:

• Implementing authentication and authorization
• Inserting, updating, and deleting data from the database
• Using forms and validation
• Implementing email notifications
• Implementing AI features such as smart paste

That last one is part of why this edition is worth grabbing even if you read an earlier version. AI-assisted features like smart paste are exactly the kind of thing developers are being asked to add right now, and seeing it wired into a working Blazor app saves you a lot of guesswork.

Getting Started

The step-by-step instructions use the free Visual Studio 2022 Community edition, and the complete source code for the book is available on GitHub. The SQL Server Developer edition is recommended for the data examples, and it is also a free download.

If you prefer, you can build the same applications using Visual Studio Code. I also recommend bookmarking the official Microsoft Blazor documentation to keep close while you work through the chapters.

Download It Free

Like all of the Succinctly series, the book is completely free. You can read it online or download the PDF and Kindle versions here:

I hope you find it useful. If you build something with it, I would love to hear about it.
