Achievement Unlocked - Build mobile and desktop apps with .NET MAUI!

Part of seriesXamarin & .NET MAUI

I've had a productive weekend, I completed the new .NET MAUI course from Microsoft Learn while watching the awesome MotoGP racing from Sachsenring! ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ

Starting with an explanation of the .NET MAUI architecture and creation of a simple app, the course includes modules on designing your UI with XAML, using Shell to create tab or flyout based apps, consuming REST services and even storing data with SQLite. The content was easy to follow and the examples were good but I wouldn't recommend it for a complete novice with .NET and Visual Studio because I did run into a few issues and errors (all reported of course) that could confuse a beginner.

I'll write more about my experiences learning .NET MAUI soon but first I plan to watch video courses from Gerald Versluis and James Montemagno. ๐Ÿ“บ
