The MVVM Pattern in .NET MAUI

By: Pieter Nijs

Overview of this book

In today's fast-paced world of modern software development, teams need to be efficient, productive, and capable of rapidly adapting to changes to deliver high-quality products, making it crucial for developers to write maintainable and easy-to-test code. The MVVM Pattern in .NET MAUI helps you to thoroughly explore the Model-View-View Model (MVVM) design pattern. The chapters show you how this pattern helps in structuring code to embrace the separation of concerns, allowing for loosely coupled user interface and application logic, which ultimately empowers you to write more robust, maintainable, and testable code. The book also highlights .NET MAUI's capabilities and features, and enables you to delve into the essential components within the framework that facilitate the application of the MVVM pattern. With the help of a sample application, this definitive guide takes a hands-on approach to walk you through both the essential and advanced usages of the MVVM pattern to ensure that you successfully apply the practical aspects of the pattern to your .NET MAUI projects. By the end of this book, you’ll have gained a comprehensive understanding of the MVVM design pattern and its relevance in the context of .NET MAUI, as well as developed the skills needed to successfully apply it in practice.

Summary

In this chapter, we provided an overview of .NET MAUI: what it is, how it works, and how to get started with creating a cross-platform app using .NET MAUI. We walked through the process of creating an app, complete with a splash screen and app icons. Additionally, we examined .NET Hot Reload and XAML Hot Reload, features that enable us to update code while the app is running, dramatically increasing our efficiency. Now that you have a holistic understanding of .NET MAUI and the MVVM design pattern, we can continue our journey by exploring how to effectively apply this pattern within the .NET MAUI framework.

In Chapter 3, Data Binding Building Blocks in .NET MAUI, we’ll explore the components available in .NET MAUI that enable us to build cross-platform apps using the MVVM pattern.
