Thanks for this - this was a really useful high level intro for me. I found the Contentful documentation a little *too* comprehensive - good for digging into detail but no real conceptual overview.

Hey shot of code - great video. I was wondering if you could do a video on maybe using Blazor WASM and contentful. Given the nuances of .net 6 and no startup file etc it makes it difficult navigating the sea of contentful trying to get it all to work - and the documentation is pretty much none on Blazor, just .net. Do you use the csharp package or the aspnetcore package for blazor wasm? Would it be possible to write calls to contentful in the code block in blazor components, or would you need a .net api and write services from the client-side to interact with the json pulled via the .net api? Good video, one of the only ones I can find on the topic of this cms with .net.

How do i get the entries count with just title without downloading the whole thing for the index page?

i ran the code, dotnet new mvc, but it didn't create a startup.cs file, how can i fix this?

Sorry can I just ask, is contenful .Net only supported if you use .Net Core, I use just the .net framework and I'm struggling with it, it seems like the .net guides on contentful site are some at .net core, can you verify if I must use .net core to use contentful on .net

nice. wonder if there are any smart ways to create .net models given complex content types..

Contentful along with other newfangled Headless CMS products are sham products. They wear no clothes! I don't see anything Contenful does that can't be done using SQL and MVC. It just adds an interface for creating records. You still have to create your own POCOs and tie it together.
