WASM and .NET are two functionalities of Blazor that make it difficult to compare with other SPA frameworks and libraries. 

thanks to a new feature added in Visual Studio 2019 16.1, we can combine the best of both worlds when it comes to support the App Installer technology: the easiness of automatically generating an .appinstaller file as part of the package creation process and the flexibility of the new update features added in Windows 10 1903. 

I have a better understanding of the new runtime, the tooling, and the dependencies required to build applications 

A simple utility to execute a callback when a webfont loads.  Demo

This uses the CSS Font Loading Module when available (currently in Chrome 35+ and Opera 22+). When that isn’t available, it uses a very similar approach to the one used in the TypeKit Web Font Loader (which is currently 7.1KB GZIP).

Basically, it creates an element with a font stack including the web font and a default serif/sans-serif typeface. It then uses a test string and measures the dimensions of the element at a certain interval. When the dimensions are different than the default fallback fonts, the font is considered to have loaded successfully.

If you’d like a full polyfill for the CSS Font Loading Module, follow along with Bram Stein’s Font Loader. I believe the specification has changed since he launched this polyfill, but he’s working on an updated version. 

The Top 50 Tips for Better Angular Development

This article dives into essential tips and best practices that will help you enhance your Angular development skills. Whether you're a seasoned Angular developer or a beginner, these insights will help optimize your applications, improve code quality, and leverage Angular’s features effectively.

This third week of the boot camp was all about learning C#. This means writing a lot of console apps and getting familiar with the standard classes in the .NET framework. 

Using Node.js, we can create web applications easily. Now, thanks to the node-webkit we can also create desktop apps with it, using a unique combination of HTML5 and Node. 

WebAssembly, or Wasm, is on its way to becoming the next big thing in software development, allowing us to develop more reusable code across programming stacks. It will also enable the deployment of smaller packages more securely. This talk will focus on the view of a .NET developer using WebAssembly in their projects, whether client-side, server-side, or plugins.

In fact, the ASP.NET Core team themselves have dropped the use of ConfigureAwait(false) 

In this post, we’ll look at how we can use one of the most popular libraries, React, to build a foldable web experience.
