About the Author
I am André Krämer: Microsoft MVP since 2013, author of several .NET MAUI books published by Carl Hanser Verlag, and Managing Director of Quality Bytes GmbH. My core topic today is AI-assisted software development. Alongside that, I build apps with .NET MAUI myself and share my knowledge in trainings, talks, and LinkedIn courses.
Do you want your team to use AI tools productively, or to go deeper into .NET MAUI development? Take a look at my trainings.
