Clean Architecture w/ Blazor π₯, Blazor in the Industry π, .NET Web Academy Enrollment Closing Soon π
Hey Reader,
Today, we're diving into two burning questions that have been on a lot of your minds: How to implement Clean Architecture in a Blazor Web App and whether Blazor is viable in the industry.
π₯ Implementing Clean Architecture with Blazor on YouTube
In my newest video tutorial, I break down the essentials of setting up a Clean Architecture for your Blazor Web App in Visual Studio. We'll explore the four layers - Domain, Application, Infrastructure, and Presentation - and how they seamlessly integrate.
π» Prefer Reading? Here's the Essence
Here's what you need to know:
Start with a blank solution in Visual Studio and create a "src" folder for all your projects.
Begin layering by setting up three class library projects: "Domain," "Application," "Infrastructure". For the Presentation layer, kick off a new project with the "Blazor Web App" template, which will then be the starting project.
With Clean Architecture, each layer points inwards to ensure separation of concerns. A common industry practice allows the presentation layer to directly reference the infrastructure layer.
Ensure proper project referencing: Application refers to Domain, Infrastructure to Application, and Presentation to Infrastructure (taking the shortcut here).
For service registration, don't bunch it all in the Presentation layer's Program.cs. Add a DependencyInjection.cs file in both Application and Infrastructure layers with an extension method for the IServiceCollection. Invoke this in the Presentation layer's Program.cs.
That's it!
π Blazor in the Real World: BurnRate's Growth Journey
A lot of you have been asking if people really use Blazor for real work.
The story of BurnRate, run by .NET expert Robert McLaws, shows that yes, they do.
Instead of using complicated Excel sheets, BurnRate uses a smart "People Algorithm" with the help of Blazor and ASP.NET. This makes their website able to handle detailed financial stuff easily.
It's a great example of how Blazor is good for making reliable, ready-for-business apps. Check out how BurnRate uses Blazor here: BurnRate is fueling revenue success with Blazor.

Hey friend, Working from home as a .NET developer sounds great. Freedom. No meetings. Full control. But after a while, it gets heavy. You make every decision alone. Architecture. Azure. Refactoring. Deployment. And sometimes you just want someone to say, βYeah, thatβs fine. Ship it.β AI helps. Tutorials help. But real conversations with other developers hit different. In today's video, I talk about why working alone can slow us down and why feedback from other devs matters more than we think....
Hey friend, Quick one today. GitHub Copilot makes form validation feel easy. But if you are not careful, it slowly decides where your logic lives. Your app still works. But the structure gets worse. In today's video, I show you: A simple Blazor register form How Copilot refactors it the wrong way How to move validation out cleanly How to guide Copilot with clear rules Watch the video here π Have a great start to the new year! π Take care, Patrick P.S.

Hey friend, I just released a new video and wanted to share it with you. Watch the video here π I used GitHub Copilot to build a small Blazor weather app. It worked almost instantly and even used real API calls. At first glance, everything looked great. Then I opened the Razor file. All the logic was sitting in one place. UI, API calls, and business logic mixed together. It worked, but it was not something I would ship. In the video, I show how I fix this using a single refactoring prompt. I...
