Coding Shorts: Ahead-of-Time Compilation in C# (AOT)

I've been looking at Source Generators as a solution to reflection. This is important for AOT compilation. So, I thought it might be useful to see what AOT is all about:

00:00 Introduciton
00:37 Compiling C#
01:30 Using ILSpy
02:19 Viewing IL
03:59 Self Contained Compilation
05:22 Publishing in AOT
06:51 AOT Results
09:05 Wrapping It Up

I had a look at AOT a few months back. In my applications I often serialise and deserialise to/from JSON and I was shocked that this doesn’t just work in AOT, e.g. even serialising an integer to JSON will fail. You need to take some extra steps to make this work, which is fine, but it scared me away for the time being!

Please make a video for AOT publishing a blazor webapp to windows server and iis.

How would you compile AOT for a particular container if it's not on your dev machine?
