Hi Sean, would you look into creating Avalonia tutorials? I feel its a very powerful framework and really gaining tractions but as with all new technology its lacking examples. Your examples are great and I think if you do stuff with Avalonia it will really be powerful!

I also have always liked vanilla WPF in terms of navigation and stuff. But things like Prism are SUPER dope

How did you do the bindingcontext on your views from the start? I am having problems with navigation currently doing the following:

ViewModel viewmodelObject = new ViewModel()


View view = new View(); //So this has my xaml.
view.BindingContext = viewmodelObject;

I can seem to pass this new View object. Called "view" as a page to navigate to. Any tips?

Thank you for sharing the video. Sadly, WPF has never really taken off because of it not being very intuitive. Personally I think that this is just to many loops to get navigation working on the page. They only thing that is "saving" MAUI is the fact that it is cross platform. Still, it is very convoluted

Hi

thank you for showing the community the benefits of MAUI.
great how easy it is to navigate from one page to another page.

surely in MAUI it is not so complicated to make a multi layer navigation,
please could you take this topic in your next tutorial.

thank you.

Hey Sean, love your videos...I learned mvvm pretty much from your videos. I have an idea for a video. I impliment your Navigation in my wpf app with mvvm. I would like to impliment a "back" button . I am able to store the previous viewmodel in a stack but am having trouble actually doing the navigation back to the previous viewmodel. maybe if you know how, this would be a huge help to me and Im sure to others as well. Thank you for all the content you post already!

What's the deal? If it's too fast, you're too old? 🤔

Yo zoomy-mcZoomerson! Slow down! You're on double-speed by default! As a baby, I got dropped on my head a lot, so I can't keep up with ya. I had to keep stopping and re-starting the video until I got to the point where it was annoying, and I quit.

Your content is good -- nay, great -- but you gotta slow down. Keep in mind that this info is brand new to most people watching. "Say what you're going to teach. Teach it. Say what you taught." Slow repetition is the key to learning, and you'll find that good teachers always follow this pattern.
