Amazing article. I found this very helpful for my project. If I already have an existing Web Api netCore app backend how do I know which of the blazor templates to use for my frontend as described in your article? Is it the Blazor Server or Blazor Wasm?

Great question! If you have an existing API (.net Core or otherwise,) you will probably lean toward Blazor WASM. With Blazor Server, you don't necessarily need an API because your requests are being handled on the server directly. Whereas Blazor WASM will need an API to handle data.

Fantastic, now I get the difference and which to use when.
I will check-in with you whenever I have a bug because it was after I had read your article on Blazor that I decided to learn about it. So you are going to be my number one go-to on Blazor
