Foundations of .NET MAUI: Create an E-Commerce App

Cross-platform development allows you to write code once and deploy it anywhere, but getting started can feel overwhelming. Building a tangible project like an online store is one of the most effective ways to grasp these concepts. In this text-based course, you will transition from understanding basic application architecture to constructing a functional e-commerce interface. You will learn how to structure your project, manage data, and create responsive designs that work seamlessly across different devices. What you'll learn: • Understand core .NET MAUI concepts, terminology, and project structure • Design responsive, cross-platform user interfaces using XAML and modern layout controls • Implement the MVVM pattern using modern source generators for cleaner code • Manage application state and navigate between screens effectively • Connect your application to external data sources using async/await and REST APIs • Apply basic dependency injection to keep your application modular and testable The course begins with foundational definitions and basic concepts before moving into practical, written coding exercises. You will progressively build out the e-commerce application, adding layers of functionality from the initial UI layouts to data integration. This course is designed for beginners with basic C# knowledge who want to explore cross-platform development without needing prior experience in mobile or desktop frameworks.
