Master the Advanced Side of Blazor and .NET 9
After learning to build complete web applications in Blazor & Full-Stack Development with .NET 9-Fundamentals & Projects, this second volume takes you beyond coding and into the real world of secure, optimized, and production-ready full-stack applications.
In Security, Deployment & Advanced Features, author Frank Craig builds directly upon the foundation from Book 1, guiding you through the next crucial stage of your developer journey: protecting, scaling, and automating your Blazor apps. You'll learn how to secure APIs and front-ends with authentication and authorization, integrate SignalR for real-time features, build CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and Azure Pipelines, and deploy to the cloud with Docker and Kubernetes, all explained in a clear, step-by-step, beginner-friendly style.
Every example is tested, every command verified, and every concept explained in practical, reproducible steps. Whether you're preparing your first deployment or securing enterprise-level web apps, this guide will help you turn a working Blazor project into a bulletproof production system.
Inside You'll Learn How To:
-
Secure your ASP.NET Core and Blazor applications using modern identity and JWT-based authentication
-
Protect SignalR and API endpoints with role-based and policy-based authorization
-
Implement telemetry, health checks, and logging using OpenTelemetry and Application Insights
-
Automate deployments with GitHub Actions, Azure Pipelines, and container-based workflows
-
Apply retry, circuit breaker, and fallback patterns for reliability and fault tolerance
-
Continuously harden your app's security posture and maintain compliance automatically
Why This Book Stands Out
This book doesn't stop at "getting it to run"; this volume shows you how to ship confidently and securely. Each concept is hands-on, written for readers who mastered the basics in Volume 1 and now want to operate like professionals.
