I am using C# in Visual Studio and am branching into web development. I was under the impression that C# can be used for front-end development but I don't see a way to do it. Do I need to use something else for the front end and c# for the back end?

Are you looking for Blazor[^]?

I am not sure what I am looking for, I have experience with C#, and I want to use it for developing a website. I thought all I needed was C# but obviously, I was naive in my thinking. Would Blazer be the tool I am looking for?
Thanks for any help, as I am really new to website development.

Blazor has the strapline "Use the power of .NET and C# to build full stack web apps without writing a line of JavaScript", so it's probably going to be close to what you're after. 
But if you're building a website, it won't hurt to have at least some knowledge of HTML[^], CSS[^], and JavaScript[^] (or preferably TypeScript[^]).

Thanks, I will look into that.

Have no idea who voted you 1 for that but fixed it.
Out of curiosity... first I'm hearing of Blazor. Does it compile the C# down to WASM or JS?

If you're using Blazor WebAssembly, then it's compiled to WASM.
If you're using Blazor Server, then the C# code runs on the server, and uses SignalR for communication between the server and the client.
There's also Blazor Hybrid for native client apps.

I am rtying to setup an Azure Pipeline to build an old Web project.
That uses both .NET v4.8 and .NETstandard 2.0 libraries.
dotnet publish doesn't support that project. I am unsure about migrating the project to new project format... I tried msbuild
msbuild C:...\Webproject.csproj -m -t:Rebuild -p:Configuration=Release;TargetFrameworkVersion=v4.8;OutputPath="c:\temp\webproj"
But then I got strange and puzzling error like:
"C:...\Webproject.csproj" (Rebuild target) (1) ->
(_GetProjectReferenceTargetFrameworkProperties target) ->
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Professional\MSBuild\Current\Bin\amd64\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(1842,5):
error : Project '..\OtherProject\OtherProject.csproj' targets 'netstandard2.0'.
It cannot be referenced by a project that targets '.NETFramework,Version=v4.8'.
Never mind, solved it.
Removed the target framework from command line! 
(it's in each .csproj anyway)

how do i install json package in macbook. i have given the command > npm init -y but could not able to install.could anyone help!!!!

All that npm init does is create a packages.json file that you can use to add features to. If you aren't able to create this file, it means that you don't have Node installed and you will need to download/install it. You can find it here[^].

In my quest for advice on web app development, my friends pointed me toward JavaScript without hesitation. They emphasized that, without a doubt, JavaScript is the jack of all trades, seamlessly handling scripting tasks on both the client side and the server side. Its flexibility and wide-ranging capabilities make it an indispensable tool in modern web development. I'm not much familiar enough. What is your opinion? Thank you Guys

tiobe index. Look at the graph rather than the chart for most used. You can search for the description of how they get the results.
From the chart you can also see how long they have been doing it historically.
TIOBE Index - TIOBE[^]

Despite it being low in the graph it probably is used quite a bit in web development. The index covers the entire industry and not just 'web'.
I expect C is there for embedded development.

It is not clear what kind of opinion are you seeking?
* Should you learn javascript? Yes, why not?
* Where to learn? Go to mdn and start the javascript beginners docs

JavaScript is the only language on the planet that you can use seamlessly on the client and server. When done, this is referred to as an isomorphic application. Any other language that claims to do this is just flat out lying and probably uses JavaScript under the hood. Emscripten used to do that actually, but they've smartly embraced WASM these days.
Speaking of WASM, things are changing with the web, but in a great way. Only problem with it is adoption for that is still in process. Eventually, a lot of languages will be isomorphic with no need for libraries. WASM is awesome.
But, if you want to start today, start with JavaScript and Node as it's still the king. You'll eventually get into WASM, but by and large you'll still need a bit of JavaScript to help run it in the browser, deal with compatibility issues, etc. So, you're going to have to learn JavaScript anyway.
As a side note, Node supports WASM too so it's worth learning regardless.
As another side note, you may see people say they don't like JS on CP. They don't know it well. Their opinion doesn't matter. It has its quirks but it's both beginner and expert friendly.

Also, things like the TIOBE index aren't a perfect representation of popularity. Some folks think just because some random dev online cooks up a random table it's meant to be taken as the gospel.
The JavaScript ecosystem is so vast there are plenty of keywords to search for that I doubt the TIOBE index picks them all up. The fact is, if you want to do web development (which is insanely popular) then you're going to learn JavaScript.

Except of course that when one wants to assess something in an objective way then one must in fact start with something that is objective.
Every other source of language usage that I have seen is based on limited developer/company surveys. Some of them are even biased where a source that is promoting the usage of the technology being surveyed. Or even quite a few where it is not even usage but rather that it is 'planned' to be used in the future.
But if you have some other source which seems like a better source I would certainly like to see it.

There's a reason I no longer correspond with you. I'd think you'd have the decency to do the same. This is unprofessional and indicative of a larger issue on your part, where you simply cannot leave someone alone. Feel free to disagree with me all you want. Just leave me out of your communications.
Nothing you can say will change my mind. You're just being disrespectful and wasting my time. And all you're doing is making so the talent will some stop coming to this site to help people.

Free speech is free speech. That includes dissent.
Also noting you did not post any links to corresponding language comparison usage.

Many of your posts have nothing to do with "helping" people. It is just you expressing an opinion about something.

I did not comment on your post. I replied in a different part of the thread to give accurate information to refute a bogus point in it. It was done for the sake of the OP getting quality information. I did not and will never engage with you again. You, on the other hand, took that as an opportunity to jump right into another engagement with me. I've made it clear I want nothing to do with talking to you.

Your opinion means nothing to me. You're argumentative and I would imagine have dysfunctional relationships. Why you cannot just leave me alone I do not know. But your presence is unwelcome. Do not reply to me anymore. Go away. Argue with a wall or something. You're wasting my time and should be blocked.

You seem to think you get to respond to me but I don't get to respond to you.
That isn't how it works.
Nor do you get to make posts and then dictate those that can respond and how they can respond. Again that just is not how it works.
