Have you ever thought about mixing two SPA frameworks together? In today's episode we discuss doing just that, Blazor and Angular running in the same application. Both Angular and Blazor have ways to export code as web components that can be reused in other applications. In order to use Angular in Blazor you have to get familiar with IJSRuntime and how JavaScript interoperability works in Blazor. We look at how Blazor can provide input and get output from Angular as well as discuss how you can handle CSS between the two. We also go over some of the use cases for using Angular web components inside a Blazor application. Have you worked with Angular Elements or Blazor web components?

Today we take a look at how Microsoft is working with blockchain in Azure. Stefano Tempesta is a senior program manager at Microsoft on Azure confidential computing. Azure confidential computing focuses on securing data in use and one of the technologies they are working with is blockchain. Microsoft is working to develop blockchain solutions that can be used for things like digital signatures and supply chain management. We also find out how Microsoft is using blockchain on some internal projects. Since Blockchain technology is here to stay, Stefano discusses a number of future uses outside cryptocurrency. Even so we had to ask Stefano about bitcoin, etherium and NFTs.
