Create rich and dynamic web applications built on the Azure cloud platform using static web development techniques built around Blazor WebAssembly, APIs, and Markup, whilst leveraging the paradigm commonly known as JAMstack. This book starts with demonstrating you how to create an environment for deploying your first application. You will create a blogging application using an Azure Static Web App with a Blazor WebAssembly application and add dynamic content using both .NET Azure functions and the Data API Builder, before deploying from GitHub. You will then learn how to run and debug your application locally, both from inside of Visual Studio, as well as from the command line using a simple Static Web App CLI command. The book takes a deep dive into the CLI to allow you to emulate all the features available in the Azure Environment. You will go through the authentication and authoring options with your app to allow you to protect your editing and creation functionality in the blog application. Moving forward, you will understand how  to add a custom domain to your application and discuss what options are available to you. Finally, the book will compare the differences between the free and paid hosting tiers for Azure Static Web Apps.
