Building Cross-platform Blazor Desktop Apps with Photino

.NET User Group - Gold Coast

Event Description

Are you a Blazor developer wishing you could build cross-platform desktop apps (yes, even for Linux!) with familiar syntax? Join us to explore Photino, a lightweight framework that brings Blazor to the desktop with direct access to desktop APIs like file system access and multithreading. We’ll compare options like Electron, MAUI and Avalonia, then dive into a live example to show how quickly you can build a Blazor desktop app using Photino—no complex setups or new frameworks required!

Informative and entertaining. Lots of little snippets of lessons we would have had to learn through experience

Jeff Atwood

Developers are already good at writing code. Writing reams of code just digs you deeper into an already deeply specialized skill. What I am proposing is that we spend less time coding and more time developing skills in other areas that complement our coding skills. Become a better writer. Become a better speaker. Improve your personal skills. Participate in the community. Try to spend some time talking to people instead of the compiler. That's how you distinguish yourself from your peers. And that's ultimately how you become a better software developer, too.
