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.

Contributing to the community

As we wrap up this chapter, it’s important to recognize that these third-party toolkits and frameworks are, at their core, community contributions. They’re the result of someone else’s hard work, thought, and passion. All this code is accessible to you on platforms such as GitHub, and it’s maintained by community-minded individuals who are always open to suggestions, improvements, and bug reports.

Remember, contributing to the community isn’t limited to creating a new project or toolkit of your own. It can be as simple as reporting a bug, suggesting a feature, or even making a small code improvement on an open source project. This open source ethos is one of the key strengths of the .NET ecosystem.

So, if you’re using these frameworks and see something that can be improved or a bug that needs fixing, don’t hesitate to contribute. By doing so, you’ll not only improve the tool for yourself but...
