Book Description:

Think about how much time you usually spend building an app in a technology you're still mastering-grasping new concepts, navigating roadblocks, and even rewriting entire modules as you learn. This book saves you that time, helping you create a modern .NET MAUI application like a pro.

The chapters address a wide range of tasks and concepts essential for real-world apps, including UI best practices and advanced tips, MVVM, dependency injection, performance, and memory profiling. Since real-world applications often go beyond frontend development, this book also explores integration with backend services for authentication, data processing, synchronization, and real-time updates. Additionally, you'll learn to implement multiple AI integration strategies, all without any prior machine learning experience.

Mastery comes with practice, so the book is organized with step-by-step recipes, each tackling a specific task. Each recipe includes detailed explanations to help you apply what you're learning to your own unique projects.

By the end of this book, you'll have developed the skills to build high-performance, interactive cross-platform applications with .NET MAUI, saving valuable time on your future projects.
