We received tons of updates from Microsoft all across the board - from new experimental frameworks (Blazor) to quick iterations of the “Core Suite” (.NET, EF, and ASP.NET) and Visual Studio. 

Front-End Web Development in Desktop Applications — a hands-on project with Blazor and .NET 6 

Web application development has evolved with the rise of new technologies and frameworks. Two of the most popular technologies for building interactive web applications are Blazor and React. In this article, we will compare Blazor and React and highlight their differences with examples.

ASP.NET Core in .NET 8 is your complete solution for modern web development. It handles all of your web development needs from the frontend to the backend. You can build beautiful, richly interactive web experiences with Blazor, and high-performance backend APIs and services that are reliable and secure. ASP.NET Core in .NET 8 is perfect for building cloud-native apps, and great tooling in Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code supercharges your productivity. With ASP.NET Core in .NET 8, every developer is a full stack developer! 

Today we released our first public preview of  Blazor , a new experimental .NET web framework using C#/Razor and HTML that runs in the browser with WebAssembly . Blazor enables full stack web development with the stability, consistency, and productivity of .NET. 

Improper Authentication and Session Management

Most web applications have an authentication module, and we should be careful when writing code for it. We could make mistakes like not removing the authentication cookies after a successful logout. This kind of mistake allows attackers to steal user credentials such as cookies and session values, and may result in attackers being able to access the complete application and cause major negative impacts.
 

Here’s a summary of what’s new in this preview release:

• Improved startup debugging experience
• Blazor
  • Form model binding & validation with server-side rendering
  • Enhanced page navigation & form handling
  • Preserve existing DOM elements with streaming rendering

  • Cascade query string values to Blazor components
  • Blazor Web App template option for enabling server interactivity
  • Blazor template consolidation

  • Testing metrics in ASP.NET Core apps
  • New, improved, and renamed counters
• API authoring
  • Complex form binding support in minimal APIs
• Servers & middleware
  • HTTP.sys kernel response buffering
  • Redis-based output-cache
   

A comparison of Blazor and Angular when it comes to modern web development—a review of the pros and cons. Does Blazor stack up? 

Two years in the making, we finally have our first beta release of Bootstrap 4. In that time, we’ve broken all the things at least twenty-seven times over with nearly 5,000 commits, 650+ files changed, 67,000 lines added, and 82,000 lines deleted. We also shipped six major alpha releases, a trio of official Themes, and even a job board for good measure.
