.NET MAUI, also known as .NET Multi-platform App UI, is a new framework from Microsoft designed to help developers create modern, cross-platform applications. It is the evolution of the popular Xamarin.Forms framework, with a more flexible architecture and improved support for new platforms. With .NET MAUI, developers can build native apps for iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, and other platforms using a single codebase. The framework includes a rich set of UI controls, layout elements, and navigation patterns that are optimized for each platform, ensuring that your app looks and feels great everywhere.

Uno Platform is a software development platform that enables cross-platform applications for various operating systems such as iOS, Android, Windows, macOS and the web. With Uno Platform, developers can create native applications that work seamlessly on all supported platforms and reach their full potential. Uno Platform uses the XAML syntax from WinUI and provides developers with a unified interface for developing applications for different platforms. The platform is open source and available on Github, allowing developers to actively participate in the further development of the platform and develop their own extensions and applications.

WPF is now the preferred technology for writing desktop applications for Windows - as soon as operating system versions older than Windows 10 need to be supported. In this workshop you will learn the basics of XAML. You will learn how to create appealing user interfaces, dialogs with validation, storing data in the database and calling API services. In this workshop you will not only learn how to create WPF applications - with the help of the MVVM pattern you will learn how to share as much code as possible with different UI technologies, e.g. WinUI and MAUI.
