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.
