Build Your First Cross-Platform Mobile App - .NET MAUI Tutorial Step-by-Step

In this video we will be introduced to what .NET MAUI is, a little bit of history with Xamarin, how it works and how the course is setup. From here we will start setting up your development environment and start building our first app!

I think the most important benefits of MAUI is unifying and simplifying very similar tasks you had to go through separately when developing across platforms. The most tedious parts of building a cross platform application, which are solved by:
A single code base, hence business logic, for maintenance and testing., then the graphics (icons, images, resources), so labor intensive when creating and customizing for platforms marketplaces specifics, the UI, always different but at the end so similar (dating from Windows 3.1, buttons textboxes tabs, radio, checkboxes...), and then the Essentials API, the golden nugget of MAUI allowing to unify the naming's neologisms for common functionalities across devices. (named differently so many times but always carrying the same functions). Thank you guys for the really hard work!

Thanks for all the effort, Xamarin has been my main tool for the past years. I just want to know if there is a potential "Responsive design" video, because with all the plataforms to deploy, we as programmers have to think our app to adapt different scenarios all from the single base code.

I've just worked my way through James 4h workshop and was impressed with it. Going to go through this playlist and hope It all sticks. though not sure how much of this will be just repeating what James said. However, really appreciate all the work you guys put into helping us noobs :)

[bryanbeeblebrox]

I just wanted to say thanks for sharing your knowledge. I am learning mobile programming with you and .NET MAUI. I hope I can pay it forward when I get proficient at programming mobile apps.

[varshney]

Awesome course. Really helps people who are totally new to MAUI. Can you share some resources how authentication happens with MAUI where backend business logic is in enterprise API and there is an Identity service which provides token . Where this token is stored on the device and how it is used.

[manishbisen]

Thanks @Gerald for sharing it.Please also add tutorial on blazor hybrid in your series list.

Time to subscribe, I guess! I'm thinking of making a multiplatform application for my Master's thesis, so I can't wait for more .NET MAUI goodness.

As long as there are popping issues in MAUI repo and team behind it, doing what they can to catch up, I am happy that we will have great replacement for Xamarin soon.

Hi I'm an Iranian developer.
Do you know where Iran is?
I've created some projects then I made much money and most of them are because of you and Microsft' team.
Thanks a lot and keep going

So how do you get a Flyout on a page in a Shell app, when the flyout isn't on the first page. I have a login page then a summary page and the next page has the flyout. It doesn't seem to be possible

[Rahulsapkota]

Hey gerald, nice video, by the way can you suggest or have any video regarding the background service running even if the app is closed with local sql database ?

[barisceyhan]

Thanks for the videos. Caould you do a video on google authentication and authorization? It appears Maui does not have a solution of interacting with browser with authorization, specifically on Android

[davidjackson]

When I navigate to a new page, that page has to do a bit of set up, I've put it in the OnNavigatedTo, the page is a bit slow while the data loads up. Is that the bext place for it ?

I am looking at this video a bit late, but given that MS is discontinuing the Visual Studio for MAC, does this mean going forward the iOS apps won't be possible? I have always felt safe by developing native apps.

[DivineWordRevelations]

I am going to be a .Net MAUI developer.

[josedonizeteoliveirajunior]

great! I'll watch them all at once! Allow a question: I have a Mac. I understand that I will be able to make an app for Android, iOS and MacOS. But to make the application simultaneously for Windows will I have to have a networked Windows? Hugs

[duncanfirth]

Hot restart with xamarin forms doesn't appear to be working right now. Is this also with .NET MAUI?

[amigoSeiya]

Hi Gerald! I hope you’re doing great. Probably this has been asked a thousand times but… can I migrate my current Xamarin project to Maui or do I have to start from scratch? Thanks 😊

[kanaalmarc]

Hoi Gerard,
Ik heb in het verleden gewerkt met XF 2 en 3, en dat was niet zo'n hele goede ervaring. Met name voor Android waren de nodige work-arounds nodig en in die tijd leek de focus vooral te liggen op introduceren van zoveel mogelijk nieuwe "coole features" en niet op het oplossen van bugs. Als je heel eerlijk bent, is MAUI, in de huidige staat, dan beter?

@Gerald Can you please tell me how to become a member to see the full course ?
