I’ve recently blogged about how excited I am by the promise of Blazor. Well, I’ve built my first Blazor app and, having tried it, I’m no less excited. There are still plenty of rough edges (which I talk about below), but it fundamentally works. In this post, I’ll try to outline the pitfalls as best as I can, in the hope that others find it useful. Please don’t construe anything I write as a criticism of the Blazor team – what they’ve done is already game-changing.

Blazor and .NET Core hosting – the future’s bright
In a past life, I was a web developer. In this post, I’d like to take an outsiders perspective on a couple of developments that I think will be hugely disruptive in the coming years. The first of these is .NET Core making it possible to run .NET websites on cheap hosting. The second is Blazor, which promises to let us use .NET for front-end web scripting – replacing Javascript. This post is a bit more soapbox-y than usual, so bear with me!
The perils of publishing a .NET Standard library to NuGet
In an unexpected turn of events, this post is about the pitfalls I’ve encountered whilst publishing ConTabs to NuGet. My decision to make ConTabs a .NET Standard library has meant this was more complicated than I had anticipated. In this post, I’ll start by explaining the old .NET Framework approach and go on to show the new .NET Standard / Core way of doing things. Finally, I’ll talk about some unexpected guests that turned up when I tried to consume my new NuGet package.
Introducing ConTabs – a vehicle for exploring modern .NET development
Today I’d like to introduce a project I’m calling “ConTabs” – simple, but flexible table generation for console applications. As well as simply being an open-source project, I’m also planning to use ConTabs as an excuse to explore some of the interesting aspects of modern .NET development.
