I am happy to announce that the updated edition of my free ebook, Blazor Succinctly , published by Syncfusion , is now available. What the Book Covers Rather than walking through disconnected snippets, the book covers the core elements of Blazor and then puts them to work by building a complete sample application: a Syncfusion Help Desk .     Along the way, the sample application demonstrates the things you actually have to deal with in a production app: Impleme

If I asked you to tell me what is related to what, you would not run a vector search in your head — you would build a little graph. That is what makes a Knowledge Graph more powerful than RAG, and you do not need a multi-thousand-dollar graph database to do it. Note: YouTube video: https://youtu.be/lzd-pxVI4Is Stop and try it. Picture your three closest co-workers. Now picture what projects they are on, who reports to whom, and which of them sat in the meeting las

Most of the open-source projects I build these days end up calling an LLM. Every time, I find myself writing the same boilerplate to wire up OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google. SimpleChat is the starter project that ends that cycle. The idea is simple. SimpleChat is a clean, working Blazor + .NET 10 Aspire chat application that already knows how to talk to OpenAI , Azure OpenAI , Anthropic , and Google AI — and it lets the end user pick the provider and the model a

We covered the new Agentic Coding workflow in a previous Blog post . This time, we will look at what we covered with a practical example. We are going to re-create a previous application that we originally "vibe coded". This was covered in detail in: Vibe Coding Using Visual Studio Code and Blazor: Creating an RFP Responder . In that article, we cover creating an RFP Responder that allows users to upload PDFs and create a knowledgebase that can then be used to respond to

The Agentic Coding Workflow is a structured method where developers act as architects rather than typists. Instead of prompting AI for immediate code, we first demand a detailed blueprint (in Markdown) and a visual map (Mermaid diagrams). We then employ "Agents"—AI tools capable of executing tasks and verifying their own work using testing tools like Playwright—to build the code reliability.
