A Bulgarian lecture of mine presented during the Soft Unit Conf on 28th of September 2018.

Topics covered:

• What is Blazor and how it works in the browser
• What is WebAssembly
• Blazor's features and Blazor's work to do
• Demo of musicx.mx
• Data binding, events and JS interop in Blazor
• Blazor on the sever with SignalR

We are going to separate the task into 3 sub-tasks:

1. Get the HTML contents from the razor view using IRazorViewEngine
2. Create HTML page and generate PDF file from it using PhantomJS
3. Return the PDF file contents to the user

These steps and the provided code are tested in ASP.NET Core 2.0 application deployed in Microsoft Azure.
