Blazor in .NET 8: Laying the foundation with Static Render Mode (Server Side Rendering)
Channel: The Dev Talk Show
Date: 13/10/2023

Blazor 8 with its fundamental changes are closer than ever to release with .NET 8 RC2.  Rich Ross and Chris Gomez discuss what's in the latest Release Candidate and attempt to move The Dev Talk Show website to the new release.  We'll discuss the new terms and try to minimize confusion with all the new words.

The terms Server-Side Rendering, Static Mode Rendering, Stream Rendering and the like are being thrown around a great deal as we head towards ASP.NET Core 8.0.  Chris believes that server-side rendering is the foundation upon which Blazor now builds... unlike previous versions where interactivity was a choice you had to make and had to live with.

We still have interactivity... the modern feel of a site that updates based on user interactions.   But we have the foundation of Server Side Rendering as the base to build upon.

And while we don't show it here, if you want to be all in as an interactive app, you still have that choice.  It's now up to you.  Future episodes will cover this.
