There are a lot of moving parts to a technical book especially if the book contains code samples. Next we get into specific questions about Blazor like hosted vs standalone, razor files or code behind and more. We even get into a discussion about MediatR and how it can benefit your codebase whether it is a Blazor application or not. What do you like or dislike most about Blazor?

In this episode, Caleb and Shawn discuss Playwright, an end-to-end testing framework for web apps. There are several established end-to-end testing frameworks including Selenium and Cypress but Playwright was new to us. Shawn found it while doing research for an app that he is currently working on so we decided to talk about what he has learned using Playwright so far. The framework supports multiple languages including TypeScript, JavaScript, Python and .NET. There is a lot of intelligence under the hood including auto-wait and web-first assertions. Listen in and see if Playwright could be the end-to-end testing framework that you use on your next project. Have you used Playwright before?

Dennis Doomen returns to the podcast to talk with us about open source projects. We discuss some of the latest milestones for Fluent Assertions and some of the positives and negatives of managing a popular open source project. While companies and developers benefit from open source projects they don't always view the open source community the same way. Dennis shares his thoughts on the subject and Shawn and Caleb talk about how their companies use open source. We also talk about different ways to sponsor an open source project and some of the communities that can grow up around an open source project. What do you think about open source? Have you contributed to an open source project either financially or by adding to the project directly? Let us know on Twitter at @dotnet_Podcast.

All frameworks have their quirks. As a framework matures some of the quirks go away but every framework seems to have one or two things that you have to work around. When writing demo or proof of concept code you may not run into these quirks. They only surface when you need to deploy your code in another environment. In this episode the panelists discuss a Blazor quirk when working with different environments. Blazor does not handle appsettings.json or ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT like other parts of .NET. Listen to this episode to find out more. What is the weirdest quirk you have had to deal with writing code? Let us know on Twitter at @dotnet_Podcast.
