Building Web Pages using Blazor

Wired Brain Coffee is gathering feedback about their menu to see which items are most liked by consumers. They would like to create a basic web page that allows customers to view and vote on a list of products. A link to this simple web page will be emailed to their existing customers.

For this lab, you will create a basic web page that retrieves a simple list of products and displays them in a table. This will include building the initial pages and components of the application, adding basic interactivity for users to be able to "Like" products, ordering the rows by popularity, and showing or hiding values.

Helpful Tips:

• The tasks that follow apply to the WiredBrainCoffee folder in the project workspace.
