Overview of this book

While UI plays a pivotal role in retaining users in a highly competitive landscape, maintaining the same UI can be tricky if you use different languages for different platforms, leading to mismatches and un-synced pages. In this book, you'll see how .NET MAUI allows you to create a real-world application that will run natively on different platforms. By building on your C# experience, you’ll further learn to create beautiful and engaging UI using XAML, architect a solid app, and discover best practices for this Microsoft platform. The book starts with the fundamentals and quickly moves on to intermediate and advanced topics on laying out your pages, navigating between them, and adding controls to gather and display data. You’ll explore the key architectural pattern of Model-View-ViewModel: and ways to leverage it. You’ll also use xUnit and NSubstitute to create robust and reliable code. By the end of this book, you’ll be well-equipped to leverage .NET MAUI and create an API for your app to interact with a web frontend to the backend data using C#.

Git

The next software you need is Git. To download Git, navigate to git-scm.com/download and choose your operating system. I’ll choose Windows. Next, I’ll choose 64-bit Git for Windows Setup under Standalone Installer. This will cause an immediate download. Double-click on the downloaded file to install it. If you already have Git installed, this will update it.

You do not need any of the Git GUIs, as we’ll be interacting with Git through Visual Studio.

When the installation is complete, you’ll see the following options: Launch Git Bash and View the release notes. Uncheck both and click on Finish.

Let’s continue with our exploration of Visual Studio.
