This is the repository for the LinkedIn Learning course Moving from Xamarin.Forms to .NET MAUI. The full course is available from LinkedIn Learning.
It’s time to get up to speed with .NET MAUI, the new face of Xamarin.Forms developed by Microsoft as a replacement. In .NET MAUI—or, more accurately, .NET Multi-platform App UI—you can build native mobile and desktop apps that run anywhere, all from a single, shared code base. In this course, software developer and instructor Kevin Ford gives you an overview of the most important features of .NET MAUI including the critical changes it makes to Xamarin.Forms.
Explore what you need to know to get started writing code with the new project structure. Learn about the key differences between .NET MAUI and Xamarin.Forms, including namespace changes, new views and controls, and major effects on cross-platform view rendering. Join Kevin to find out more about .NET MAUI and gather insights to boost your coding career.
This repository has branches for each of the videos in the course. You can use the branch pop up menu in github to switch to a specific branch and take a look at the course at that stage, or you can add /tree/BRANCH_NAME to the URL to go to the branch you want to access.
The branches are structured to correspond to the videos in the course. The naming convention is CHAPTER#_MOVIE#. As an example, the branch named 02_03 corresponds to the second chapter and the third video in that chapter.
Some branches will have a beginning and an end state. These are marked with the letters b for "beginning" and e for "end". The b branch contains the code as it is at the beginning of the movie. The e branch contains the code as it is at the end of the movie. The main branch holds the final state of the code when in the course.
When switching from one exercise files branch to the next after making changes to the files, you may get a message like this:
error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by checkout: [files]
Please commit your changes or stash them before you switch branches.
