Xamarin Forms Essentials and Migration to .NET MAUI

Building cross-platform mobile applications requires a solid understanding of how shared codebases interact with native platforms. This text-only course provides a clear pathway from understanding classic Xamarin Forms architecture to mastering the modern .NET MAUI framework. You will learn how to transition your skills and existing codebases to the latest standards in cross-platform development. By completing this course, you will be able to confidently evaluate Xamarin applications, structure shared user interfaces, and execute a systematic migration to .NET MAUI using modern development workflows. What you'll learn: - Understand the core architecture of Xamarin Forms and how it manages native controls - Compare Xamarin Forms with .NET MAUI to identify key performance and architectural improvements - Configure modern development environments using current .NET CLI tools and project structures - Map Xamarin layout controls and page life cycles to their modern .NET MAUI equivalents - Apply migration strategies to port shared business logic, dependency injection, and UI code - Practice troubleshooting common compilation and runtime issues during platform upgrades The course begins with foundational concepts, establishing a firm grasp of XAML, data binding, and platform renderers. From there, you will read through step-by-step migration scenarios, learning how to leverage single-project architecture and modern dependency injection containers. This course is designed for beginner to intermediate developers who have some familiarity with C# and want to understand how to maintain, upgrade, or transition legacy mobile applications to modern .NET standards. No prior mobile publishing experience is required. Start reading today to modernize your cross-platform development skills and transition your projects to the future of .NET mobile apps.
