WebExpress – A new .NET Framework for Modern Web Applications

 

Hello everyone,

I’m excited to present my very first blog post about WebExpress, a project dedicated to enhancing the development of web applications in .NET.



Current Development Status

I’m currently working intensively on WebExpress and am thrilled with the progress so far. My aim is to create a framework that not only impresses with a simple and intuitive API but also offers maximum flexibility for building complex web solutions. I place a high value on a clear architecture and well-structured design that significantly simplifies the development process.

Announcing Version 0.0.8-Alpha

I’m pleased to announce that the 0.0.8-alpha version will be released soon. This release marks an important milestone in my development roadmap and brings along some exciting innovations:

  • Enhanced Routing Architecture: The processing of URLs and paths has been further optimized, making it more efficient and intuitive.

  • Optimized Performance: Through targeted improvements, I have reduced response times, which directly benefits the user experience.

  • Expanded Feature Set: Early implementations of new features are making it even easier to build complex applications.

  • Increased Stability: Although this is an alpha release, many bugs have already been fixed. Your feedback will be invaluable in helping me further refine WebExpress.

Breaking Changes and Their Impact

With the new 0.0.8-alpha version come some breaking changes. In particular, these changes involve the removal of modules and alterations to how endpoints are configured. This means that existing applications built on earlier versions of WebExpress will either need to be completely redeveloped or significantly modified to adapt to the new system. I recognize that this may present challenges for some of you, and I will be providing detailed migration guides and support to ensure a smooth transition.

Looking Ahead

Over the coming weeks, I will continue to work diligently on WebExpress, regularly updating you on new developments, feature enhancements, and optimizations. Your feedback, ideas, and suggestions for improvement are incredibly valuable to me. Together, we can make WebExpress an indispensable tool for .NET web development.

I look forward to reading your comments and questions and am eager to hear your thoughts on these new advancements.

Best regards,

René

WebExpress 0.0.9-alpha – The Path Toward More Responsive Design

Image
With version 0.0.9 alpha, WebExpress begins a significant transformation. The system moves away from rigid layouts and embraces a dynamic, context-aware design approach that adjusts gracefully to any screen size. Responsive design is not just a technical feature. It reflects a design mindset focused on modularity, clarity, and accessibility. Why Responsive Design Matters In today’s world, users switch between smartphones, tablets, and desktops as naturally as moving between rooms. Design must follow that movement. WebExpress responds with a system that does more than display content. It stages it, adapting to device, context, and usage. What’s New in Version 0.0.9 alpha With this release, responsive design was not just introduced as a layout principle. It was systematically integrated into the architecture of WebExpress, both in the UI controls (WebExpress.WebUI) and in the templates (WebExpress.WebApp). Unified Scaling with clamp() and rem Typography, spacing, and layouts are now re...
