We want you to try our new Blazor Guide inside Visual Studio and we are giving away Blazor stickers for those who give it a try. Read on to learn about how to give it a try and for a chance to receive a sticker.
Above: The Blazor sticker that you can win, by trying the new Visual Studio Guide!
Blazor helps developers build rich interactive web UI using C#. To help developers learn Blazor, we’ve created an integrated Guide within Visual Studio so that everything you need to create your first app is available in the same space.
The learning experience walks you through editing and building a sample Counter app in Visual Studio. Since this is the first launch of a new learning experience, we’re looking for feedback to help us iterate on the functionality and content of the Guide!

I don't see the same Welcome page on VS 2022 when I start it up. I see the Open recent and Get Started lists, then if I click Continue without code link, I just get an empty VS window. I don't see the guide that you are showing.
How do I start the guide when I don't see what you are showing in the screenshot?
Using VS Version 17.2.2.
You will have to install the Preview version of Visual Studio that is linked in the blog post. It is a special build: aka.ms/blazorguidegiveaway
Hi! I would gladly try it. However, is there absolutely no way for people living in Europe to have a sticker ?
