Tue Sep 10 17:05:00 UTC 2024: ## Microsoft Releases Self-Paced Blazor Hybrid Workshop

**Redmond, WA** – Microsoft has announced the release of a self-paced Blazor Hybrid workshop, designed to empower developers to build cross-platform applications using the innovative framework.

The workshop, accessible at aka.ms/blazor-hybrid-workshop, provides a comprehensive guide to building a “MonkeyFinder” app from scratch. This interactive learning experience walks users through six distinct modules, each offering a working example to build upon.

Whether you are new to Blazor Hybrid or seeking to enhance your teaching skills, this workshop offers valuable resources. Developers can utilize the provided code, slides, descriptions, and instructions to create their own workshops.

This comprehensive learning experience, estimated to take 4-6 hours to complete, is also compatible with Microsoft’s existing .NET MAUI workshop. This integration allows learners to compare and contrast the development approaches between native and Blazor Hybrid UI applications.

“We encourage developers to share their ideas and contribute to the workshop’s community modules,” said Sweekriti, a Senior Software Engineer at Microsoft. “We believe that collaboration is key to fostering innovation.”

Gerald Versluis, a software engineer on the .NET MAUI team, has also created a complimentary 4-hour YouTube course that further delves into Blazor Hybrid concepts. Upon completing the course, users can earn a digital badge from Holopin, a platform renowned for its badge system popular during Hacktoberfest.

“This workshop and the accompanying YouTube course provide developers with a powerful toolkit to explore the exciting world of Blazor Hybrid,” said Versluis. “We are thrilled to empower the community with these valuable resources.”

Microsoft emphasizes that the YouTube course is a personal endeavor by Versluis and not officially endorsed or supported by the company.

With this new self-paced workshop, Microsoft aims to facilitate the adoption of Blazor Hybrid, enabling developers to build compelling cross-platform applications with ease.
