XAML for Beginners - Xamarin.Forms & .NET MAUI XAML

If you want to get unblocked quickly and build confidence with MAUI fundamentals, this session gives you the why, the how, and the trade-offs in one place. You’ll get both the conceptual model and the concrete steps so you can apply the same approach in your own app.

Fast Path

• Prereqs: .NET SDK and .NET MAUI workload
• Steps: follow James’s setup, implement the core feature, then validate on target platforms.
• Result: a working implementation you can extend in production.
• Next: extract the pattern into your own template or shared project layer.

What You’ll Learn

• XAML authoring and binding strategy
• Productivity features like IntelliSense and Hot Reload
• Safer patterns to avoid runtime binding issues

Note

• Platform behavior can differ across Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows, so validate the final flow on the platforms you plan to ship.
