What is .NET MAUI?

if you're a net developer i'm sure you recently heard about.net maui at least that's the case for me and i wonder what.net mao is all about and if i should care about it [Music] hi i'm a software engineer with more than 10 years of experience with the net platform and in this video we're going to explore everything that i found while researching what's currently known about.net maui what does.net maui stand for netmaui means.net multi-platform app user interface and allows us to build native desktop and mobile apps with a single code base net maui will be running on.net 6 which will be released in november 2021 according to microsoft dot net maui is an evolution of xamarin forms with rebuild controls from the ground up for performance and extensibility what's the difference between.net maui and xamarin forms with.net maui based on.net 6 the evolution of xamarin forms will be integrated into the new world of a single.net with.net 6 native app development becomes part of.net like other frameworks such as asp.net core already have with.net 5. madi lecture product manager on the net maui team at microsoft was recently a guest on the net show and said that you don't hire a xamarin forms developer anymore instead you hire a net developer who writes mobile or desktop apps for you we can see this in the code examples when we take a look at the namespaces the classes from the summary.forms namespaces are moved to the system.maui namespace in.net maui all your code is in a single project compared to xamarin forms where you had to have a project for every platform it should reduce complexity and make it an overall better developer experience what's similar between.net maui and xamarin forms we still use xaml and c-sharp to develop our applications we can also choose between mvvm reactive ui or model view update to decouple our logic from the view definition we can build applications for android ios mac os and windows desktop if you are a xamarin forms developer you can expect to use a lot of your knowledge when building.net maui applications yes the project setup might change but the day-to-day code you're going to write should be familiar to you should you migrate from xamarinforms to.net maui microsoft suggests starting new projects with dotnet maui when it's officially released they also promised that they would make the transition for existing xamarinformsapps2.net maui as seamless as possible if you have a small app that you can migrate without a lot of work it seems to be a good idea when it's a more challenging task you might want to wait until microsoft offers tooling and other support to make the transition simpler for you what about visual studio code dotnet maui will allow us to write native mobile and desktop applications using visual studio code microsoft says that you'll always have the best integrated developer experience when developing initial studio but you will have the option to use visual studio code visual studio code can be a good fit for you for example if you are doing native android development and already have all the emulators set up if most of what you do is working on the application's code visual studio code can be an excellent choice for you if this isn't the first time watching a video on my channel you know that i'm talking a lot about blazer can we combine blazer and.net maui there is the option to integrate blazer applications into.net maui using the webview what's more interesting is that microsoft has the question if dotnet maui and blazer will be unified in their faq the official answer is stay tuned no official plans yet but we're looking into the possibility i'm excited to see if they somehow make it happen to make our blazer components work in dotnet maui projects to build native mobile and desktop applications we will see what the future brings when can i use net maui you can start today by using the.net 6 preview sdks or you can start using.net maui after its official release with dotnet 6 in november 2021 where can i get more information if you want to learn more about.net maui and stay up to date with everything that's coming in the future check out the.net maui page on github which is linked in the video description there also is a link to a samples repository and the faq section let me know in the comments below what you think of net maui so far i'm definitely watching how things around.net maui evolve don't forget to subscribe to the channel so you don't miss new videos about.net development and check out my free blazer crash course in the video description below thanks for watching and see you in the next
