***What should people know about the subject of your book? Why is it important?***

Blazor is super exciting and perhaps one of the fastest growing technologies nowadays, as it allows backend C# developers to create full-stack web apps with only C# knowledge. Razor Components are one of the pillars that make Blazor applications possible.

***When did you first become interested in this subject?***

Since day one. Essentially as soon as Microsoft announced it was working on this project.

***For developers looking to start using the Blazor framework, where should they start? When in the learning process should they pick up your book?***

They should start with the [Blazor Succinctly](https://www.syncfusion.com/succinctly-free-ebooks/blazor-succinctly)
 and [Blazor WebAssembly Succinctly](https://www.syncfusion.com/succinctly-free-ebooks/blazor-webassembly-succinctly)
 books by author Michael Washington to understand the fundamental aspects of this technology. With that knowledge, then they can take on *Razor Components Succinctly*.

***While writing this e-book, what did you learn yourself? Did something surprise you?***

I learned a lot about how to structure Blazor applications correctly for scalability and reusability, which is in essence what *Razor Components Succinctly* covers. I wouldn’t say I was surprised with anything in particular, as I already knew quite a bit about the technology as a whole, but I did find it interesting how much code reusability concepts and separation of concerns are even more important in Blazor than they might be on other platforms.

***How do you see Razor and Blazor changing over the next few years?***

It’s evolving to include more than just web apps powered by server-side ASP.NET or WebAssembly; to include mobile and desktop application development, also.

***Do you have a blog page or a website where people can find you?***

Yes, I’d love you to check out my books, courses, or simply stop by and say “hello,” at [https://edfreitas.me](https://www.edfreitas.me/)
 and my blog is available at: [Blog | Ed Freitas](https://blog.edfreitas.me/)
