Learn Blazor WebAssembly and Web API on .NET 6 by building a shopping cart application using C#. This course also provides a guide on how to integrate a payment gateway into your Blazor WebAssembly component, so that a user is able to pay for products through your application using a debit or credit card or PayPal account.

- Detect unknown component parameters
- Properties marked with [SupplyParameterFromQuery] attribute should also be marked as [Parameter]
- Properties marked with [EditorRequired] attribute should also be marked as [Parameter]
- Methods marked with [JSInvokable] attribute must be public
- JSRuntime must not be used in OnInitialized or OnInitializedAsync
- Use InvokeVoidAsync instead of InvokeAsync when the return value is not used
- Do not overwrite parameter values 

Say hello to Rider “.NET Core edition”! The backend now can be run on the .NET Core runtime instead of Mono on macOS and Linux! Enable it in "Help | Switch IDE runtime to .NET Core". Enjoy the performance boost and a lower memory footprint!  

1. Optimize main bundle with Lazy Loading
   
2. Debug bundles with Webpack Bundle Analyzer
   
3. Create several small shared modules
   
4. Use Lazy Loading for images that are not visible in page
   
5. Use virtual scrolling for large lists
   
6. Use FOUT instead of FOIT for fonts

The Blazor component model to be included in ASP.NET Core and shipped with .NET Core 3.0 was given the new name "Razor Components" to differentiate it from the ability to run .NET in the browser, Roth said.
