Wie .NET jetzt auch den Browser erobert?

− Native operating systems & platforms get less important for users − Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, iOS: a mixture of everything, anywhere − Desktop is still important, not everything is mobile − Software developers need to care about & target ubiquitous systems − Depending on the actual audience, on the actual use cases − The Web has proven to be a universal platform − Modern browsers are power horses – more or less like an operating system Wie .NET jetzt auch den Browser erobert?

Native Bytecode for the Web Wie .NET jetzt auch den Browser erobert?

− Low-Level Bytecode for the Web − High execution speed − Fast, efficient, portable − Readable and debuggable − Uses existing sandboxing tools − Part of the open, backwards- compatible web Wie .NET jetzt auch den Browser erobert?

Wie .NET jetzt auch den Browser erobert?

− Implemented in all major browsers (2017+) − Evergreen browsers (Chrome 57, Edge 16, Firefox 52 (not in ESR), Safari 11) − Desktop and mobile − Native technology (i.e. no plug-ins!) − Idea: Bring all programming languages to the browser − Targeted at languages such as C, C++ or Rust (= languages without garbage collection) − Achieves superior performance for some use cases − Addition to JavaScript (not a replacement!) − JavaScript glue code is still required to load a WebAssembly − Currently, JavaScript counterpart is required for accessing the DOM Wie .NET jetzt auch den Browser erobert?

− After v1 (the MVP), the consortium keeps working on new features − Threads − Garbage Collection − Reference Types − Direct DOM access − Many more things… − https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/blob/master/FutureFeatures.md − BTW: WASM also works on the server − e.g. WASM loader for Node.js − https://github.com/wasm-tool/node-loader Wie .NET jetzt auch den Browser erobert?

− Re-use existing code by targeting WebAssembly, embedded in larger JavaScript/HTML application − Anything from simple helper libraries, to compute-oriented task offload − Main application frame & logic in WebAssembly, UI in JavaScript/ HTML/CSS − Entire code base in WebAssembly Wie .NET jetzt auch den Browser erobert?

− Baremetal: WebAssembly Studio − Playing around with WASM in the browser − C/C++ tools & compilers − Binaryen: compiler and toolchain infrastructure library for WebAssembly, written in C++ − LLVM: The modern C/C++ compiler toolchain − Emscripten: LLVM-to-JavaScript-or-WASM compiler − Tools cross-compiling from major languages − Cheerp (from C++) − TeaVM (from Java) − Rust − mono-wasm (from C#) Wie .NET jetzt auch den Browser erobert?

.NET Comes to the Browser Wie .NET jetzt auch den Browser erobert?

− Mono is Microsoft’s strategy for cross-platform client applications − Xamarin is based on Mono, Unity as well − Support for .NET Standard − Mono team is working on tooling to compile Mono/.NET code to WASM − Two approaches − JIT – for fast development cycles, including live reload (part of mono-master) − AOT – for optimized runtime deployment & execution (aka mono-wasm) Wie .NET jetzt auch den Browser erobert?

Single-Page Apps Come to C# Wie .NET jetzt auch den Browser erobert?

− Blazor is an experimental Single Page Application (SPA) framework based on .NET − Blazor projects run 100% in the browser − On top of a WASM build of the Mono .NET runtime * − Compiled .NET assemblies are loaded into the browser and JIT compiled * − Uses Razor/.cshtml templates for rendering HTML/CSS − Uses C# for writing application logic Wie .NET jetzt auch den Browser erobert? * as of June 19, 2018

− It is NOT about running any .NET Code just in the browser − We still have a sandbox − Various .NET Standard APIs will just not work in the browser − It is NOT a way to port Razor/MVC/server-side web applications to an SPA − It is NOT a way to bring XAML/WPF/Xamarin into the browser − You may want to look at the Ooui.WASM open source project for this − It is NOT production-ready − Therefore, it is NOT suitable for real-world applications (yet?)

− The Web is still the Web − You need to know HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Period. − Progressive Web Apps − Emerging technologies enable more app-like feeling and behaviors of Web apps – including offline − WebAssembly − Brings any programming language and sandbox-aware framework to the browser − May pave the way to write business applications without large JavaScript parts – some day… maybe − Blazor − Experimental SPA Framework by the ASP.NET Core team, very early stages – do not use in production − Shows possibilities of WebAssembly with .NET/possible future UI framework?
