Book Description

.NET MAUI is a lightweight multi-platform development toolkit for building apps with a rich user interface. This third edition covers the latest features of .NET MAUI, including CollectionView and Shell, along with interesting concepts such as augmented reality (AR), machine learning, and cloud services.

Starting with an introduction to .NET Core and how it works, this book shares tips for choosing the type of development environment you should strive for when planning multi-platform apps. You'll build your first .NET MAUI app and learn how to use Shell to implement the app architecture. The level of complexity of the projects in the book gradually increases, guiding you through creating apps ranging from a location tracker and weather map to an AR game and a multiplayer game. As you advance, the book will take you through modern mobile development frameworks such as SQLite, .NET Core, ARKit, and ARCore. You'll be able to customize your apps for Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS platforms to achieve native-like performance and speed. The book is filled with engaging examples, so you can grasp essential concepts by writing code instead of reading through endless theories.

By the end of this book, you'll be ready to develop your own native apps with .NET MAUI and its associated technologies, such as .NET Core, Visual Studio 2022, and C#.
