Sands of MAUI: Issue #189

Sam Basu’s June 2025 Sands of MAUI roundup brings together practical guidance for building better .NET MAUI applications and modernising the workflow around them. It links to hands-on community content spanning data-heavy interfaces, inclusive UX, AI-powered features, and desktop migration.

• What the .NET MAUI Community Standup’s accessible Solitaire case study reveals about semantic properties, mobile touch interaction, and keyboard or mouse experiences on desktop.
• How to connect a .NET MAUI app to Azure AI Foundry through Microsoft.Extensions.AI and the IChatClient abstraction, illustrated by an AI-enhanced to-do app.
• Which UI, styling, accessibility, templating, and document-processing considerations matter when moving a Telerik-powered WPF application to .NET MAUI.
• Why agentic DevOps is emerging as a useful complement to development teams, with AI agents supporting requirements, implementation, testing, and operational monitoring under human guidance.

Whether you are improving an established MAUI product or mapping out your next one, the linked posts offer focused starting points and concrete implementation ideas. Dive into the full roundup to follow the examples, watch the standup, and explore the source material in more depth.
