What is a BFF? - .NET 110
Wai and Caleb sit down to discuss how authentication is evolving and how it works in Blazor. Identity server is now Duende server and with that comes the Backend for Frontend (BFF) pattern. From an authentication persepective this pattern can benefit SPA's because of the way it handles cookies and tokens. Caleb is in the process of integrating a .NET 6 Blazor app with Identity server 4 (IDS4) and wanted to use BFF but it isn't an option. We discuss alternatives and how those alternatives might be viewed from the business and developer perspectives. Join us and find out where Caleb ended up on his authentication journey.

Mastering SignalR - .NET 109
Have you ever used SignalR in your development? .NET might have used it for the code you wrote and you didn't realize it. Kevin Griffin has used SignalR for multiple projects over the years and joins us to discuss how you can use it in your development. SignalR uses a pub/sub model and is great for applications that need immediate feedback. Kevin used it for a city's emergency system to provide alerts to first responders within seconds of an emergency being recorded. Like most technologies SignalR can be problematic if used incorrectly. We get to hear a couple of stories where Kevin had to work to fix troublesome SignalR implementations. Have you developed applications that could benefit from using SignalR?

Grokking gRPC - .NET 108
In today's episode Mohamad Lawand helps us try and grok gRPC. gRPC is a modern open source high performance Remote Procedure Call (RPC) framework that can run in any environment. That description doesn't really demystify what gRPC can do so Mohamad helps us fill in some of the gaps. We find out how gRPC works in .NET, how it works with HTTP, how it is different from REST and some good use cases for using it in your applications. gRPC is used by companies like Netflix and Square and is supported by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation.

Blangular (Blazor + Angular) - .NET 105
Have you ever thought about mixing two SPA frameworks together? In today's episode we discuss doing just that, Blazor and Angular running in the same application. Both Angular and Blazor have ways to export code as web components that can be reused in other applications. In order to use Angular in Blazor you have to get familiar with IJSRuntime and how JavaScript interoperability works in Blazor. We look at how Blazor can provide input and get output from Angular as well as discuss how you can handle CSS between the two. We also go over some of the use cases for using Angular web components inside a Blazor application. Have you worked with Angular Elements or Blazor web components?
