Overview of this book

An evolution of Xamarin.Forms, .NET Multi-platform App UI (.NET MAUI) is a cross-platform framework for creating native mobile and desktop apps with C# and XAML. Using .NET MAUI, you can develop apps that’ll run on Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows from a single shared code-base. This step-by-step guide provides a comprehensive introduction to those who are new to .NET MAUI that will have you up to speed with app development using .NET MAUI in no time. The book begins by showing you how to develop a cross-platform application using .NET MAUI and then helps you build an app throughout the chapters. You’ll gain all the knowledge needed to create a cross-platform application for Android, iOS, the mac OS, and Windows from a single shared code-base using .NET MAUI. As you advance, you’ll get to grips with the entire application development lifecycle, from design and implementation through to deployment to the app store through the development of a password manager app using KeePassLib. The concluding chapters will teach you how to integrate the latest frontend technology into your app through .NET MAUI Blazor. By the end of this book, you’ll have learned how to develop your own cross-platform applications using .NET MAUI.

Part 1: Exploring .NET MAUI

In the first part of this book, we will learn about .NET MAUI programming. We will start with the introduction of .NET MAUI and its ancestor Xamarin.Forms. After that, we will create a code base using the Visual Studio template for our application. We will build a password manager app called PassXYZ.Vault step by step in this book. During the development of this app, we will introduce user interface design using XAML, the MVVM pattern, data binding, the shell, dependency injection, and so on. By the end of Part 1, we will have a fully functional password manager application.

This section comprises the following chapters:

  • Chapter 1, Getting Started with .NET MAUI
  • Chapter 2, Building Our First .NET MAUI App
  • Chapter 3, User Interface Design with XAML
