Build cross-platform apps with .NET MAUI! This exciting new technology helps you create mobile and desktop apps using a common set of .NET tools.

.NET MAUI in Action teaches you to build cross-platform applications with the skills you already have as a .NET developer. There’s no platform-specific knowledge needed to get started; you’ll learn everything you need about Android, iOS, and more through the book’s hands-on guidance. You’ll dive straight into creating apps and rapidly progress from “Aloha World” to To-Do list apps, a movie recommender app, and even an app that sends telemetry data from the Batmobile to the Batcave!

Learn how to deliver a consistent look and feel for your apps across platforms while tailoring your user experience to relevant devices. Throughout, you’ll use the built-in controls of .NET MAUI and learn how to develop your own custom solutions. You'll soon be confidently delivering complex apps without mastering platform-specific skill sets.

The .NET Multiplatform App UI (MAUI) is a new framework from Microsoft for building cross-platform UI applications that target Windows, macOS, iOS and Android. With .NET MAUI, you can build a rich, interactive, native UI application that runs on any one of these platforms. With a single code base, you can build an application that supports all these platforms and share 100% of the code between them. In short, you write an application in a .NET language, and it runs without any changes on any of the target platforms. All your logic can be written in a .NET language, and your UI can be defined in either XAML or in your .NET language of choice too.

You can write code in .NET MAUI apps using your .NET language of choice (VB.Net, F# or C#). It’s possible to define your UI in code too, but only C# and F# are supported. In this book, we will be using C# to write our logic and XAML for defining our UI (although there will be some exceptions) as these are the most common approaches. It should be possible to adapt the C# code to another language, but I would recommend working through the examples in the book in C# first.
