Open-source .NET MAUI Workshop - Multi-platform apps with C#

The .NET Foundation helps organize "Presentations in a Box" including workshops, demos, presentations, eBooks, and a lot more from the .NET team and the .NET community. In recent months, the ASP.NET Core Beginners, Blazor, and C# workshops have been fully updated to .NET 6 and C# 10! If you are looking to learn or teach .NET and C#, these are great resources to start at.

Personally, I contributed the Xamarin.Forms workshop to the .NET Foundation resources, and with .NET MAUI around the corner, I thought it was time to update this workshop to the latest and greatest tech. So, today, I am pleased to announce the launch of the .NET MAUI workshop available right now today! This full day workshop walks through everything .NET MAUI and has you building a full application from scratch that grabs and displays information from web API, navigates to details, and adds native platform features.

Here is a full outline of the workshop:

  • Part 0 - 30 Min Session - Introduction to .NET MAUI Session & Setup Help
  • Part 1 - Single Page List of Data
  • Part 2 - MVVM & Data Binding
  • Part 3 - Navigation
  • Part 4 - Implementing Platform Features
  • Part 5 - CollectionView & Beyond
  • Part 6 - Theming the app

There is a slide deck presentation for each part of the workshop alongside a full readme walkthrough of completing the exercise. I am super excited to release this and I am super open to feedback as well. I am presenting this at a few upcoming conferences and then plan to do a full recording on my YouTube!

Could you dive into authentication and provide examples of giving platform specific experiences (i.e. iOS with Apple authentiation, Android with Google authentication); as well as showing how to secure the backend API with the mobile app as well?

Would look into something like -> docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/e... which is included in .NET MAUI

I gave it a try but I could not get it to see it running in a remote ios simulator. I guess vs 2022 with maui preview is not ready.

So, there were some changes on the Apple Xcode side and that remoted simulator and hot reload are currently working in this release, but the team is working on it.
