Bringing WebAssembly to the .NET Mainstream - Steve Sanderson, Microsoft

Many developers still consider WebAssembly to be a leading-edge, niche technology tied to low-level systems programming languages. However, C# and .NET (open-source, cross-platform technologies used by nearly one-third of all professional developers [1]) have run on WebAssembly since 2017. Blazor WebAssembly brought .NET into the browser on open standards, and is now one of the fastest-growing parts of .NET across enterprises, startups, and hobbyists. Next, with WASI we could let you run .NET in even more places, introducing cloud-native tools and techniques to a wider segment of the global developer community. This is a technical talk showing how we bring .NET to WebAssembly. Steve will demonstrate how it runs both interpreted and AOT-compiled, how an IDE debugger can attach, performance tradeoffs, and how a move from Emscripten to WASI SDK lets it run in Wasmtime/Wasmer or higher-level runtimes like wasmCloud. Secondly, you'll hear lessons learned from Blazor as an open-source project - challenges and misconceptions faced bringing WebAssembly beyond early adopters. [1] StackOverflow survey 2021 

we'll walk through:
- Basic Installation
- Loading a Dataset
- Basic Security

Here’s the list of what’s new in this preview:

• Razor Components renamed back to server-side Blazor
• Client-side Blazor on WebAssembly now in official preview
• Resolve components based on @using
• _Imports.razor
• New component item template
• Reconnection to the same server
• Stateful reconnection after prerendering
• Render stateful interactive components from Razor pages and views
• Detect when the app is prerendering
• Configure the SignalR client for server-side Blazor apps
• Improved SignalR reconnect features
• Configure SignalR client for server-side Blazor apps
• Additional options for MVC service registration
• Endpoint routing updates
• New template for gRPC
• Design-time build for gRPC
• New Worker SDK 

We should all be automating our image compression.
In 2017, image optimization should be automated. It’s easy to forget, best practices change, and content that doesn’t go through a build pipeline can easily slip. To automate: Use imagemin or libvips for your build process. Many alternatives exist.
Most CDNs (e.g. Akamai) and third-party solutions like Cloudinary, imgix, Fastly’s Image Optimizer, Instart Logic’s SmartVision or ImageOptim API offer comprehensive automated image optimization solutions.
