.NET MAUI: Cross-platform app development done right (MRB #57)

Talk description
.NET MAUI is the successor to Xamarin. Use it to build native apps that run on iOS, Android, Tizen (Samsung), Mac and Windows.

In this talk Damian will introduce the basics, but then dive deep:

• How do you access native libraries?
• How do you host native iOS controls?
• What about UI testing and accessibility?
• What is the tooling like?
• What’s it really like building production apps using .NET MAUI?

Damian’s been building apps using Xamarin, and then MAUI since 2012, both his own apps but also for multinationals such as Nestle. He also build apps using Swift and SwiftUI so he understands both the limitations and benefits of MAUI.

Speaker
Damian Mehers started programming on 8 bit microcomputers in the early eighties, and still loves it: Imagining something and then making it real is magic.
He has built and sold several software product businesses, worked for startups such as Evernote (back when it was a startup), as well as working as consultant at large multinationals such as Nestle. He currently has several apps in the app store, one of which is almost always in the top 50 apps for its category and sometimes in the top 200 apps overall.
