Overview of this book

An evolution of Xamarin.Forms, .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 codebase. In this revised edition of .NET MAUI Cross-Platform Application Development you will be introduced to .NET 8 and get up to speed with app development in no time. The book begins by showing you how to develop a cross-platform application using .NET MAUI, including guidance for migrating from Xamarin.Forms. You’ll gain all the knowledge needed to create a cross-platform application for Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows following an example project step by step. As you advance, you’ll integrate the latest frontend technology into your app using Blazor components, including the new Blazor Bindings feature. After this, you’ll learn how to test and deploy your apps. With new coverage on creating mock .NET MAUI components, you can develop unit tests for your application. You will additionally learn how to perform Razor component testing using bUnit. By the end of this book, you’ll have learned how to develop your own cross-platform applications using .NET MAUI.

A brief overview of design principles

Design principles are high-level guidelines that offer valuable advice on design considerations. These principles can provide essential guidance to help you make better design decisions. Some general design principles are applicable not only to software design but also to other design disciplines.

Let’s review some general design principles before we explore the commonly used design principles (SOLID) in software development.

Exploring types of design principles

Design principles encompass a vast subject area. Thus, rather than delving into intricate details, I will provide insights from my experiences in implementing design principles during development, offering a concise overview of the principles discussed in this book. We will begin with high-level principles such as DRY, KISS, and YAGNI, and then progress to those more commonly used in software development. In the realm of object-oriented programming (OOP), the most widely...
