Learn how to create cross platform desktop applications using .NET MAUI. This presentation is based on lessons learned from creating real-world desktop applications in financial trading and healthcare using .NET MAUI.

We will cover the basics such as window management, application lifecycle management, and unhandled exception handlers. We will then dive into more advanced capabilities such as a custom dispatcher to significantly increase user interface performance, cross platform modality, cross platform features with native experiences (ex. snack and toast), and cross platform testing.

The best practices presented focus on Mac and Windows but also cover iPad, iPhone, and Android where appropriate. We will cover platform interop concerns such as processor architecture (ARM64 and Intel on Mac and Intel x86/x64 on Windows) and talk about the lessons learned by creating these feature rich cross platform applications.

Much of the lessons learned in this presentation is based on bleeding edge development that has been incorporated in new and future releases of .NET MAUI. This comes from working with customers trying to push the edge and us working with the .NET MAUI team and us as a Microsoft Partner to make sure they are successful.
