Key benefits

  • Extend your skills to build cross-platform native apps for iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac
  • Learn by working on a real-world project
  • Go beyond MAUI and integrate with the .NET ecosystem

Description

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#.

Who is this book for?

Learning .NET MAUI is targeted squarely at C# programmers, whether or not they have experience with cross-platform or mobile applications, who wish to learn Microsoft's premier platform for building iOS, Android, Windows and Mac apps using a single C#-based solution.

What you will learn

  • Explore the fundamentals of creating .NET MAUI apps with Visual Studio
  • Understand XAML as the key tool for building your user interface
  • Obtain and display data using layout and controls
  • Discover the MVVM pattern to create robust apps
  • Acquire the skills for storing and retrieving persistent data
  • Use unit testing to ensure your app is solid and reliable

As a developer with a keen interest in .NET cross-platform mobile and desktop app development, I am grateful to have been provided an eBook copy of this book by the publisher Packt to review.With a Foreword by Maddy Montaquila (Leger), Senior Product Manager of .NET MAUI at Microsoft, and a monthly presenter of the .NET MAUI Community Standups, you can trust that this book is endorsed by the team that literally built .NET MAUI..NET MAUI for C# Developers takes a well-structured approach. It starts with the basics, laying a solid foundation that gradually builds up to more advanced topics. The authors, Jesse Liberty and Rodrigo Juarez, have a talent for breaking down complex concepts into digestible chunks, and focusing on the most important concepts and techniques. I appreciated the numerous code examples and complete yet simple app that they walk you step-by-step building throughout the book, which helped me process the material.The Forget Me Not app is simple enough to grasp yet covers all the core features that you will need to learn to build any .NET MAUI app. Topics include shell navigation, displaying collections, data binding, the fundamentals of the MVVM pattern, and consuming services.Jesse and Rodrigo even go the extra mile to include clear diagrams showing important concepts like layouts and controls with padding and margins. To top it all off, the book is well-written and engaging. The authors' conversational tone made even the most technical sections a pleasure to read..NET MAUI for C# Developers is a great way to start your journey to learn .NET MAUI if you're a beginner to cross-platform development with .NET, or to review the changes for those developers already familiar with the older technology Xamarin.Forms. I recommend this book for all C# developers who want to efficiently get up-to-speed with the capabilities and possibilities of .NET MAUI.

This book is a practical guide to mastering .NET MAUI and building native cross-platform apps with a single codebase. It is targeted towards C# programmers who want to learn Microsoft's premier platform for building iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac apps using a single C#-based solution.The book starts with the fundamentals of creating .NET MAUI apps, but quickly moves on to intermediate and advanced topics on laying out pages, navigating between them, adding controls to gather and display data, and using the MVVM pattern to create robust apps. I like that the book also covers unit testing to ensure that the app is solid and reliable.One of the strengths of this book is that it uses a real-world project to teach the concepts. This approach allows readers to learn by working on a real-world project and seeing the concepts in action. The authors do a great job of explaining the concepts and providing code examples to illustrate them. The book is well-structured, with each chapter building upon the previous one. For the non-paper people, the book also currently includes a free PDF eBook with the purchase of the print or Kindle version.Keep in mind that this assumes that you have at least some experience with C# programming. While the book does cover the basics of .NET MAUI, it may not be the best starting point for someone who is completely new to programming, .NET, or C#.Overall, "NET MAUI for C# Developers:" is a very valuable and well-written resource for C# developers who want to learn .NET MAUI. The book is well-organized, easy to follow, and provides practical examples that can be applied to your real-world projects. I would recommend this book to any C# developer who wants to expand their skills and build cross-platform apps.

The .NET MAUI framework is a wonderful choice for developing cross-platform apps. If you are familiar with Xamarin.Forms, then you will appreciate the improvements evident with .NET MAUI. You should have a working knowledge of, and some experience with, C# before tackling this book.The authors do a great job of letting you start with the basics and then scaffold up to more complex topics to include using the .NET MAUI framework to build user interfaces, REST services, and working with data and navigation. The book also features the .NET MAUI Community Toolkit, which can be used to extend the framework.Great resource!

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
