Introducing .NET Maui

.NET MAUI (Multi-platform App UI) is a new framework for building native, multi-platform applications using .NET. It is designed to make it easier for developers to create applications that run on multiple platforms, including Windows, iOS, and Android.

One of the key benefits of .NET MAUI is that it allows developers to use a single codebase for all platforms. This means you can write your application logic once and then use that same code to create versions of your application that run on Windows, iOS, and Android. This can greatly simplify the development process and reduce the amount of time and effort required to create a multi-platform application.

.NET MAUI also allows developers to use a single markup language for all platforms. This means you can use XAML (Extensible Application Markup Language) to create the user interface for your application, and that same markup can be used for all platforms. This can help to ensure that your application looks and feels consistent across all platforms, which can be especially important for creating a professional-looking application.

Another benefit of .NET MAUI is that it allows developers to use a single programming language, C#, across all platforms. This means you can use the same language to create the logic for your application, regardless of the platform it is running on. This can make it much easier to learn and use, especially if you're already familiar with C#.

.NET MAUI also includes built-in support for popular features such as navigation, data binding, and dependency injection. This means that you can use these features without having to write any additional code, which can help to speed up the development process.

Finally, .NET MAUI allows developers to take advantage of the latest platform features and capabilities on all platforms. This means you can use the latest iOS and Android features in your application, without having to write any additional code.

Overall, .NET MAUI is a great choice for multi-platform development. With its single codebase, markup language, and programming language, it can greatly simplify the development process and help you create professional-looking, high-performance applications that run on multiple platforms. Whether you're a seasoned developer or just getting started, .NET MAUI is a valuable addition to your toolkit.

Best of all Maui is now available on Visual Studio Mac and JetBrains Rider.
