.NET MAUI Development

The course dotNET MAUI Development from SpiralTrain covers the creation of native and visually attractive applications that run seamlessly on Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS.

Intro .NET MAUI

The course .NET MAUI Development starts with an overview of .NET MAUI and the design of a first app in Visual Studio. The files and project structure are discussed.

.NET MAUI.Android

Then specifically the construction of .NET MAUI Android projects are covered. Apps are tested on an Android emulator and attention is paid to keeping the development environment up to date.

Activities and Intents

The main building blocks of Android apps are then treated, such as activities, intents, views and services. Starting activities, passing parameters and retrieving results are covered.

.NET MAUI.iOS

Then the construction of .NET MAUI iOS projects is discussed. Apps are designed with the designer for iOS and tested on an iPhone simulator. Typical iOS design patterns are also explained such as Model-View-Controller, protocols and delegates.

Consuming REST Services

Attention is also paid to the integration of REST services and using asynchronous calls with async and await.

Data Access

Next an overview is given of the local storage options and data access with a local SQLite data source is also discussed.

Publishing

Publishing the app in the Android or iOS app store is also covered. This includes the use of the linker and reducing the footprint.

.NET MAUI.Forms

The definition of User Interfaces with .NET MAUI.Forms is also treated. eXtensible Application Markup Language (XAML) and the link with the underlying code via data binding is discussed as well.

Resources and Styles

Next it is shown how a consistent look and feel of fonts and colors is achieved through the definition and application of resources.

Layouts

Finally layout is covered with layout containers such as StackLayout and Grid that adapt to device dimensions.
