Overview of this book

This third edition of .NET MAUI Projects explores the features of .NET MAUI, a lightweight multi-platform development toolkit for building apps with a rich user interface. Updated to cover the latest features of .NET MAUI, including CollectionView and Shell, this book delves into concepts such as machine learning and cloud services. Starting with an overview of .NET Core and how it works, this book shares tips for choosing the right development environment for planning multi-platform apps. You'll then build your first .NET MAUI app and advance to learning how to use Shell to implement app architecture. Progressing in complexity, the projects guide you through creating apps, ranging from a location tracker and weather map to machine learning and multiplayer games. Further, the book will take you through modern mobile development frameworks such as SQLite, .NET Core, and ML.NET, empowering you to customize your apps for Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS platforms for native-like performance. Engaging examples are woven throughout the book so you can grasp essential concepts by writing code rather than extensive theory. By the end of this book, you'll be ready to develop your own native apps using .NET MAUI and associated technologies such as .NET Core, Visual Studio 2022, and C#.

Using MVVM – creating views and ViewModels

Model-View-ViewModel, or MVVM for short, is all about separation of concerns. It is an architectural pattern that defines three parts, each of which has a specific meaning:

  • Model: This relates to anything that represents data and that can be referenced with ViewModel.
  • View: This is the visual component. In .NET MAUI, this is represented by a page.
  • ViewModel: This is the class that acts as the glue between the model and the view.

We are introducing MVVM here because the MVVM pattern was designed specifically around XAML-based GUIs. This app and the rest of the apps in this book will use XAML to define the GUI and we will use the MVVM pattern to separate the code into the three aforementioned parts.

In this app, we could say that the model is the repository and the to-do list items it returns. ViewModel refers to this repository and exposes properties that the view can bind to. The ground rule is that any logic...
