Blazor + Dapper CRUD - .NET Core 3.1

Overview

This course pairs Microsoft's Blazor framework with Dapper, the micro-ORM built by Stack Overflow, to show how fast, asynchronous, data-driven web apps come together without the overhead of a full ORM. Instead of hiding SQL behind abstractions, Dapper keeps queries visible and lightweight, which is the core appeal covered here.

Who it's for

Developers who already have some comfort with .NET and want a leaner alternative to Entity Framework will get the most from this material. It suits intermediate learners who want direct control over their SQL while still working inside a modern Blazor front end.

Key takeaways

• How Blazor and Dapper fit together for CRUD operations
• Why Dapper's simplicity and transparency appeal to developers who dislike ORM abstraction
• Foundational patterns intended to carry into data-driven development for years to come
