• Week 6: Advanced C# - Exploring delegates, events, lambda expressions, and generics.

Module 2: Frontend Foundations (3 Weeks)

Before diving into Blazor, it's important to have a solid understanding of the core web technologies it interacts with.

• Week 7: HTML & CSS for Blazor - A deep dive into HTML5 and CSS3, including responsive design principles using Flexbox and Grid.
• Week 8: JavaScript Interoperability - Learning how Blazor can call JavaScript functions and how JavaScript can call .NET methods.
• Week 9: Frontend Libraries - Integrating popular CSS frameworks like Bootstrap or Tailwind CSS for rapid UI development.

Module 3: Blazor Framework (6 Weeks)

This module is the core of the course, focusing on building applications with Blazor.

Module 5: Agile Scrum & DevOps for BI (2 Weeks)

This section covers modern software development methodologies and practices essential for collaborative BI projects.

• Week 24: Agile Scrum - Introduction to the Agile manifesto and the Scrum framework, including concepts like sprints, backlogs, and daily stand-ups.
• Week 25: CI/CD using Git - Implementing version control with Git to manage code changes, collaborate with a team, and set up a basic Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline.

Project & Deployment (Starting from Week 1)

The final module is dedicated to an end-to-end project, which brings all the learned concepts together.

• Capstone Project - Part 1 - Designing and architecting a full-stack Blazor application. This includes creating the data model, designing the API, and planning the UI components.
• WCapstone Project - Part 2 - Implementing the project, including the database, API endpoints, and the Blazor frontend.
• Deployment - Deploying the completed application to a hosting environment (e.g., virtual server) and presenting the final project.
