Exploring .NET MAUI: Getting Started

In this series of articles, I’ll guide you through the process of building a complete business application from scratch, step by step.

Starting with the fundamentals of XAML, you'll learn how to create your first .NET MAUI application. From there, you’ll dive into constructing various screens, including a detailed view, and using grid, stack, and flex layouts. Witness firsthand how effortless it is to craft screens that adapt flawlessly to any screen size. Whether you're an aspiring developer or a seasoned pro, this article gets you started on building business applications using XAML and .NET MAUI. If you’re a C# Windows Forms developer or a WPF developer who wants to learn to use XAML in .NET MAUI applications, this article is also for you. To get the most out of this article, I’m assuming that you’re very familiar with C#, .NET Core, and object-oriented programming.

An Overview of .NET MAUI

.NET MAUI is a technology that helps you build native applications on Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, all using a single C# codebase. To design the UI for your applications, use the XAML markup. The XAML you write is translated into C# for the .NET runtime designed to run on the target OS. XAML has been around for many years and was originally created for use in WPF applications to create robust, resolution-independent screens. Like HTML, XAML uses a flow-layout instead of absolute positioning to ensure that screens can adapt to devices of any size.
