Blazor is taking the hobbyist world by storm, but did you know it is perfect for enterprise applications? Having the whole project in one place in one language has done wonders for the development experience. However, as new tech in its perceived infancy there are doubts about whether it’s aged enough for production scenarios.

This is where AntBlazor comes to the rescue! It is a comprehensive set of enterprise-class UI components, built with a focus on ease-of-use.

In this talk, Luke demonstrates how the popular open-source component libraries work, with insightful comparisons and demonstrations.

While many are complete wrappers around their underlying design frameworks (Bootstrap, Material Design, etc.), they are built around the idea of matching the UI, instead of worrying about the developer’s UX.

AntBlazor is fully supported by the .NET Foundation and boasts an impressive following. The best part is the awesome documentation and code samples to get you up and running in no time!

Want to become a better consultant and accelerate your career? Stop bringing problems to your manager and start bringing solutions!

Join SSW’s Adam Cogan in the beautiful city of Strasbourg, France, as he shares practical tips on managing up, a skill that helps you become more proactive, build trust with your manager, and make better decisions.

You’ll also discover how to manage up when you’re CC’d on an important email. Instead of waiting for your manager to ask for advice, learn how to proactively draft a suggested response, share your expertise, and save valuable time.

Whether you’re a developer, consultant, architect, or team leader, these simple habits can help you take ownership, demonstrate initiative, and grow professionally.

Takeaway: Don’t just identify the problem. Present the options, recommend the best one, and explain why.

Treat Your Code Like Uranium | Adam Cogan

Adam Cogan shares a striking story comparing two World War II factories—one ordinary, one handling uranium—and the surprising lesson that the uranium workers lived longer because they followed disciplined, risk-aware practices. He connects that idea to software teams: the best outcomes come from careful habits like automated tests, telemetry, pull requests, retrospectives, shared rules, and good tools. The message is simple: treat software delivery with the same respect as dangerous work, and you’ll reduce stress, avoid chaos, and get better results.

Stop Using 👍 Wrong in Teams | Adam Cogan

A quick communication tip from Adam Cogan: don’t use 👍 as a catch-all response when someone assigns you a task in Teams, Slack, or Google Chat. In the example Adam gives, if a task will take about five minutes, a thumbs up is too ambiguous because it does not clearly say whether you’ve read it, agree with it, are doing it now, or will do it later. Instead, use 👍 for agreement, 👀 to show you’ve seen the task and are actively working on it, and then replace 👀 with ✅ once the task is done. It is a small change, but it removes ambiguity and cuts down unnecessary follow-up messages.
