.NET MAUI Fundamentals: Building Cross-Platform Applications with .NET 10

.NET MAUI Fundamentals: Building Cross-Platform Applications with .NET 10 is a practical, architecture-first guide designed to help developers confidently create production-ready apps for Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS from a single codebase.

Whether you are transitioning from Xamarin.Forms, expanding your .NET skills, or building your first multi-platform application, this book walks you step-by-step from setup to store deployment.

This is not a surface-level overview. It is a structured, hands-on roadmap built for serious developers who want clean architecture, maintainable code, and real-world implementation strategies.
