084 - Enhancing Blazor with HTMX with Egil Hansen

Egil Hansen joins Bartek to discuss writing valuable tests, WebForms, and marrying the best of HTMX and Blazor.

Be deliberate about what tests you write!

In the second half, Egil and Bartek discuss Blazor, HTMX, and nice ways of building web applications on top of .NET. Weren't Web forms (anyone remember those?) pretty nice after all? Finally, an experiment in progress: marrying HTMX and Blazor to give the user an even more responsive experience.

Recorded at Swetugg 2024. Big thanks to Avkodat and Active solution for lending their recording equipment!

Citat

• Leaving my comfort zone
• My own little corner of the .NET ecosystem
• What does it mean to write valuable tests?
• Very few "always"
• Generally always exceptions to the rule
• A target you can move towards
• Pressing F5 and testing the thing
• It really shortens the feedback loop
• Emulate the WinForms experience
• Building things with Blazor
• At home with C#
