"Two major forces outside of Microsoft's control curtailed .NET's planned world dominance: (1) the rise of Javascript in the browser which negated .NET Silverlight, and also Java applets and Flash. (2) the rise of Apple iOS and Android."

I agree with those 2 forces:

1) the raise of javascript: Now is starting to develop an answer to this in Blazor (https://github.com/aspnet/Blazor)

2) iOS and Android: both are here to stay, so Xamarin is the answer. I have been using Xamarin for iOS and all though still lack of some maturity, in its actual form is very viable.

Shameless plug - do you want a system built with either Blazor or UNO.

I'm a .NET developer with the perfect experience to leverage this system. I've been doing full stack and front end on various platforms for 20 years, and .NET for 15 years (version 1) and thus can leverage UNO to provide rapid and quality development.

I've already done advanced XAML in Silverlight and WPF with MVVMLight and PRISM application architectures based on TDD/CI/CD, animations, transforms, control templates, control building, designing products.

I'm also good with Blend and do the roundtrip Blend designer to Visual Studio developer workflow, or do both parts myself to design a full front end UX, UI, and code, and well as the rest of the full stack.

I've also done a lot of Razor MVC and modern web front end and I can't wait to get into Blazor as well - it seems about the dream platform for my style of development.

If you're interested to build a system or product built on UNO or Blazor with me, get in touch!
