This book has been a while in the making. Not only the writing itself but also the journey leading up to it. And there are many people to whom I owe a huge thank you.

I need to start with the amazing Jessica Engstrm. For your kindness to a terrified conference attendee and starting me on this journey by convincing me to try my hand at public speaking and for becoming an amazing friend.

To all the speakers from Swetugg 2019 for helping me get through that first talk, Im honored that I can call so many of you friends now.

And to Mattias Karlsson, for inviting me to write my first technical talk for your conference in 2020. That really put me on the road to making technical content and looking at new technologies even if Covid got in the way and it had to be delivered virtually! Id still love to give a technical talk for your user group/conference at some point.

To Cindy Velthuizen and Tom Ehren, for your support, advice, and time over the last few years as I made this journey.

A huge thanks to Jonathan Gennick for reaching out, asking me if I would be interested in writing a book, and helping me through those first stages.

To Shrikant Vishwakarma and Smriti Srivastava for your help while actually writing the book and keeping me on track.

And everyone else at Apress who make getting books from Word documents on my computer to being an actual book possible.

To my technical reviewers.

Marc Duiker for checking that I was doing the right things with the Azure Functions through the chapters, and laughter at some of the comments I made.

And Jimmy Engstrm for doing the same with the Blazor code and helping me think my way out of problems during the writing.

Of course, any issues that remain here are entirely down to me!

And to everyone else, too numerous to mention, who have helped me get this book into readers hands.

Finally, my parents for always supporting me in what I wanted, and needed to do, and cheering me on when it would have been so easy to give up at school, college, and university. It means the world to me that you believed in me through those years.

And my partner and child, who wish to remain anonymous, but it wouldnt be right to not include them here. For your love, support, and helping me stay on track, I am forever indebted.
