.NET MAUI Projects - Third Edition

Introduction to .NET MAUI

This chapter is all about getting to know .NET Multi-platform App UI (.NET MAUI) and what to expect from it. .NET MAUI enables you to build native cross-platform mobile and desktop apps for Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows using .NET and C#. This is the only chapter that is purely theoretical; all the others cover hands-on projects. You are not expected to write any code at this point, but instead, simply read through this chapter to develop a high-level understanding of what .NET MAUI is, how .NET MAUI relates to .NET, and how to set up a development machine.

We will start by defining what a native app is and what .NET as a technology brings to the table. After that, we will look at how .NET MAUI fits into the bigger picture and learn when it is appropriate to use the traditional .NET mobile and .NET MAUI apps. We often use the term traditional .NET mobile app to describe apps that don’t use .NET MAUI, even though .NET MAUI apps are bootstrapped through a traditional .NET mobile app.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Defining native applications
  • .NET mobile
  • Exploring the .NET MAUI framework
  • Setting up our development machine
  • .NET mobile productivity tooling

Let’s get started!

Description

This third edition of .NET MAUI Projects explores the features of .NET MAUI, a lightweight multi-platform development toolkit for building apps with a rich user interface. Updated to cover the latest features of .NET MAUI, including CollectionView and Shell, this book delves into concepts such as machine learning and cloud services. Starting with an overview of .NET Core and how it works, this book shares tips for choosing the right development environment for planning multi-platform apps. You'll then build your first .NET MAUI app and advance to learning how to use Shell to implement app architecture. Progressing in complexity, the projects guide you through creating apps, ranging from a location tracker and weather map to machine learning and multiplayer games. Further, the book will take you through modern mobile development frameworks such as SQLite, .NET Core, and ML.NET, empowering you to customize your apps for Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS platforms for native-like performance. Engaging examples are woven throughout the book so you can grasp essential concepts by writing code rather than extensive theory. By the end of this book, you'll be ready to develop your own native apps using .NET MAUI and associated technologies such as .NET Core, Visual Studio 2022, and C#.

What you will learn

Set up .NET MAUI to build native apps for multiple platforms using its single project capabilities Understand the core aspects of developing a mobile app, such as layout, UX, and rendering Use custom handlers for platform-specific access Discover how to create custom layouts for your apps with .NET MAUI Shell Implement serverless services in your .NET MAUI apps using Azure SignalR Create a .NET MAUI Blazor application leveraging the power of web technologies Build and train machine learning models using ML.NET and Azure Cognitive Services
