Devlinks 2019, Week 9

• You probably don’t need a single-page application
  https://journal.plausible.io/you-probably-dont-need-a-single-page-app
  An argumentation against building Single Page Applications as the default for any project. There are many advantages of server-side rendered web applications. Choosing a single page application should be a conscious decision based on concrete project requirements.

• Turbolinks: An alternative to SPAs?
  https://github.com/turbolinks/turbolinks/blob/master/README.md
  Turbolinks are an interesting technology that promise to deliver some advantages of single page applications while still being a classical server-side rendered application.

• TSLint is dead, long live ESLint

  I guess a lot of projects will have to switch their linter in the near future ... hopefully the Angular CLI makes the transition easy ...

• Blazor, a new framework for browser-based .NET
  
  I believe WebAssembly will trigger a new wave of frameworks and has the potential to overhaul how we create complex web applications. This has the potential to increase productivity by factors over current frameworks (Angular, React, Vue). I think/hope Balzor is just the first of a new generation of frameworks. Similar frameworks outside of .NET will follow. I am surprised how mature it already looks in this presentation.
  However after playing with it, I see that debugging is currently a major blocker.

• Blazor Example:

• Blazor Workshop
  https://github.com/dotnet-presentations/blazor-workshop. A free tutorial how to build a Blazor app.

• Blazor Roadmap
  https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/mt848631.aspx
  Blazor is part of .NET Core 3 as 'Razor Components' ... however this seems not to be the the client-side runtime based on WebAssembly. It seems they are trying to create a component model that can be used for server- and client-side development ... I hope they are not trying to mix up too much here!
