💡 Key Takeaways
This project taught me that .NET is a powerful platform for modern web development. Blazor WebAssembly brings the full power of C# to the browser, enabling developers to build rich, interactive web applications with familiar tools and languages.
The most rewarding part was seeing how C# code could run directly in the browser, providing a seamless development experience from backend to frontend. The component-based architecture and strong typing made the codebase more maintainable and less error-prone.
The TodoApp stands as a testament to .NET’s evolution into a full-stack development platform. It’s a reminder that modern web development doesn’t have to mean abandoning the benefits of strongly-typed languages and excellent tooling.
