I truly enjoy your videos James. Thanks for taking the time to help out those like myself that want to improve our coding skills.

[Duelweb]

Amazing presentation style and your enthusiasm is so infectious!!!

[Steven-hqdf]

I'm excited for Maui, but I think that there would be even more interest if more of Microsoft's own apps like Office or Teams were written in Maui.

[dotnetdevni]

Well done on 88 thousand people thats no small feet james congratulations.

[acmesoft]

James, you're amazing! Excellent video!

[robertocarlosaballe]

James, would you make a workshop on how to develop the Weather app that Microsoft uses to showcase .Net MAUI?

[azgan]

You look amazing without the hat <3

[luciannaie]

great vid again. :) sorry to say it, after having my go at it as a beginner, maui is not ready. bugs every corner, it’s like nobody is testing their code. from outside it all looks cool, a little fact well kept under the rug: there are more than 1000 issues right now. maybe next year it will good enough for the prime time. nonetheless I’ll keep having my crunch time, learning stuff in the process. cheers!

.net Maui has been my favorite for the past 1 month. The documentation Microsoft provides plus the videos you do are a great tool. I have one question how do I get reporting tools such RDLC to work. I know it's possible with wpf. Am using another reporting tool but its tedious since am developing an ERP. Big project. Thank you.

How would u do login in terms of calling out to a web api and authenticating in your app.

[odnalroemosiaw]

Welcome back. I miss this stream, question i am creating a .net maui app targeting my young kids. I am facing two major challenges adding sounds and the drag feature is very slow. I would like the drag to be responsive like a swipe.

[PaulSebastianM]

What resolution and screen physical size is your wide monitor? Is it more productive than two 16:9 monitors? Would 2 ultrawides stacked vertically or horizontally be even more productive? What do you think? Thanks!

[Ilidan]

More .net Maui, please. Simply app please like alarm clock or calculator.

[decideone]

Do you have any idea when the Windows titlebar will be customizable? Or do you maybe have a workaround for that?

[ddavid]

Is there a plan on publishing a Mac setup for Maui?

[juancamiloramirezvelez]

Hi James, I have been developing with xamarin forms and XAML for a long time, now my big question is should I start using blazor to get more out of it or continue with XAML?

[zarokoshin]

Does Popups from toolkit works with MAUI ?

[carlosrafa]

Wanted to share something: I'm still using, on my Development Machine, VS Mac 8.8.6 build 15 ( the last version with XAML Preview). Still prefer it against Hot Reload. My distribution machine has updated versions. I use old nugget versions in development, and newer versions for distribution. 1 vote for XAML Preview revival

[simongeering]

Does anyone know when the MAUI tooling in VS2022 is going to be out of preview please?

[keithsummers]

[ANSWERED IN VIDEO, THANKS 1:04:09 and here 1:22:40] Can you publish an exercise in Bluetooth communication --- please.... That is most certainly an advanced topic because it directly calls native libraries. Perhaps the largest question right now is what package to choose which is well integrated into MAUI with strong documentation....
