[MUSIC] >> Welcome back to another.NET
MAUI beginner series video. I'm James Montemagno, a Product Manager on the developer community team here at Microsoft. Today, we're continuing our journey, learning how to build native cross-platform desktop and mobile applications with.NET MAUI. Now in this video,
I'm going to recap everything that we learned so far and give you additional
resources of where to get going. Now, in this beginner series, we learned not only
what.NET MAUI is, but what is inside of
a.NET MAUI application, including cross-platform images, and resources, and styles. We also learned how to access
native platform specific code or access many of the APIs in.NET MAUI for doing common
things like connectivity, geolocation, and device sensors. Now, we also learned how to build user interfaces directly
inside of XAML, an XML based markup
language and how to add great features to it
with data binding in MVVM, an architecture pattern
that enables you to be hyper productive when
creating user interfaces. It enables your UI to update when the code behind
updates or vice versa. We also took a look
at how we can deploy too many operating systems
from Visual Studio 2022. We also saw how we can
be more productive by using the great features
built into Visual Studio, including Live Preview and
one of my favorite features, Hot Reload for both
XAML and C-sharp, enabling you to write code and have your application update in
real time as you're debugging. Now, there is so much
more inside of.NET MAUI and I want to make
sure that you have all the resources you
need to get started. There are amazing documentation on the docks at
Microsoft.com/dotnet/maui. I'll give you every single
thing that you need to know when you continue your journey building these
cross-platform native apps for desktop and
mobile with.NET MAUI. Additionally, I want to
show you that there's an amazing resource of MAUI samples. This is going to give you
everything that you need to explore the different
capabilities of.NET MAUI. It includes full
applications and it includes smaller samples for specific
features of.NET MAUI. Finally, make sure that
you check out the.NET YouTube and video series
on docs.Microsoft.com, including on.NET where the team live streams and has pre-recorded
videos that come out every single week talking about
all the great things that are happening in the world
of.NET and.NET MAUI. Finally, I mentioned it a few
times in the different videos, but I want to bring
special attention to the vast ecosystem around.NET MAUI. There's a great GitHub repo
called Awesome.NET MAUI, I'll put it in the show notes below, that is run by the community that highlights all of the
amazing libraries, apps, and all the things that
you can do with.NET MAUI. It's a great resource
to bookmark when you're looking for really cool
things to explore. Finally, I do want to talk about
the.NET community toolkits. We've explored them a little
bit here in this video, including the.NET community toolkit
for MVVM that makes MVVM much simpler and also the.NET MAUI community toolkit that has a
whole bunch of new controls, converters, behaviors,
and so much more. I'll put links to everything
in the show notes below. Now of course, I'll answer any of your questions if
you're over on YouTube, but make sure that you do
give the video a thumbs up. It helps others find
videos in the series. I really hope that you enjoyed this beginner series
for.NET MAUI and feel free to reach
out to me or the team at any time with any questions. Happy coding and I can't
wait to see what you build with.NET MAUI
for iOS, Android, Mac, and Windows to build those beautiful native cross-platform
apps. Thanks for watching.
