Reviews
The .NET MAUI Framework - .NET Multi-platform App User Interface - is Microsoft's de facto standard for developing cross-platform apps with .NET that run on iOS, Android, macOS and Windows. For developers who are serious about developing apps with .NET MAUI and C#, this book is highly recommended and, in my opinion, an absolute must-read. I am fascinated by this book: content, writing style, examples, illustrations and presentation of code are excellent! After an overview, new and experienced .NET developers can dive into different areas such as XAML, forms, navigation, styles, localization, custom controls, etc. Particularly noteworthy is the practical approach, which also covers the MVVM pattern, calling web services, publishing in the various app stores and a lot of valuable knowledge about app development. A real gem in the German-speaking market!

Implement barcode scanning and individual data entry
Implement barcode scanning and individual data entry
Here you implement
- Barcode scanning -
Connection of a camera scan function for product identification - Dynamic forms -
Input fields for name, storage location, expiry date and quantity with validations - State Management -
Automatic data processing after the scan for a seamless user experience
Developing dynamic list views
Following data entry, you will develop a clear inventory management system for food. You will implement a dynamic list view that categorizes food based on its storage location and highlights its shelf life. You will learn how to retrieve data from a local database, sort it and display it in an intuitive user interface. In addition, you will implement interactive elements that allow users to easily edit or update their stocks - an essential feature for a user-friendly app.
