Do you want to build full-stack with your stack? We'll build an ASP.NET website using Blazor and WebAPI, a back-end service using Service Worker and gRPC. Then we'll build the same website with Node using Express, Vue.js, gRPC, and PM2. Along the way we'll compare and contrast these technologies to empower you to use JavaScript or C# front-to-back for your next project. You'll leave with a functional sample in each, and a methodology to choose your next full-stack site.

With ASP.NET 6.0, there's a 4th coding paradigm joining MVC, WebAPI, and Razor Pages: Minimal APIs. It's a great way to create the lightest weight microservice. But are you trading everything for the small surface? We'll start with a .NET 5 project and build up to a Minimal API looking at a bunch of brand new C# 10 features along the way. Like the other 3, this is not an either/or choice, and when it makes sense, you can be really productive here too.
