As well as finishing my second book, I’ve also been lucky enough to have reviewed 2 books so far this year. This landed on my letter box today. @engstromjimmy.bsky.social’s 4th edition of Web Development with Blazor. Looking to up your Blazor skills? Get a copy and work though! 💯 recommend!

Things I learned today: Behind curtains hides a very hard window sill. Turns out that’s useful information… just a little too late.

Pretty cool, we updated a #Blazor project from .NET6 to .NET10, switched from Blazor Server to SSR, and updated the project to follow the new template structure in less than 10min :)

Great writeup and video by @engstromjimmy.bsky.social about how we're improving Razor editing and Hot Reload in Visual Studio 2026:

If you’ve ever been frustrated by Razor intellisense, slow feedback, or Hot Reload behaving… oddly, this explains what was going on under the hood. 📖 Blog: buff.ly/DrKiWP8 🎥 Video: buff.ly/NXg5TiQ

Streamers and content creators! I need soundproofing. What do you use? We have a large room 20m² (215ft²), it is very echoey. We have upgraded from a headset to a Shure SM7B; the SM7B picks up a lot more of the room. Please share your setup and learnings from soundproofing ❤️

Are Blazor developers real? 👀 Spoiler: YES — and finding them might be easier than you think. I share lessons from .NET’s early days, Angular/React habits, and why C# & ASP.NET are the keys to Blazor. 🎥 Watch here 👉 buff.ly/r6zs2ZG #Blazor #dotnet #webdev

I've been wanting to share these for an age because I'm so proud of them. But there were surprise gifts for @engstromjess.bsky.social and @engstromjimmy.bsky.social so I couldn't 😅 Logos are super hard, but I'm so happy with how far my drawing skills have come in 3 years!

-Will Blazor meet the same fate as Silverlight? This is still to this day one of the most common questions I get. In this new video, I break down why Silverlight failed and why (spoilers) that fate does not apply to Blazor.

Don't spend 1 hour writing code when you can spend 10 hours failing to vibe code it. I honestly enjoy vibe coding, at least to a degree. It gives me a moment of rubber ducking at the same time as the problem (hopefully) gets solved. What do you think? Do you vibe code?

I made a Blazor Web App run on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W… and used it to control an LED with Meadow! .NET 9 + Blazor + GPIO on a Pi — it's oddly satisfying. 😎 💻 Watch the video: buff.ly/Hg32KUy #dotnet #blazor #IoT #raspberrypi #meadow @wildernesslabs.bsky.social

When Scott Hanselman presents, you know you're going to have a good time. I didn't expect tears. My parents didn't sell their van, but they did buy me my first computer. Without their belief in me, I wouldn't be where I am today. Thanks Scott, for reminding me of this ❤️ buff.ly/qnlcl7a

So thank you @engstromjimmy.bsky.social for the amazing work on that last chapter. I may bnot agree with all the comments, but every single one made me think and has contributed to improving the book!

Final chapter of the book back from @engstromjimmy.bsky.social after his technical review. Pffttt. It was a lot. But rather than thinking how bad I am at this (my normal resposne) instead I went through 1 by 1. The chapter is already much better, & I'm actually looking forward to the 2nd pass!
