Best Practices for Cross-Platform .NET 8 Applications

You shouldn’t need to ever write code from scratch for commonly used functions. Microsoft has extracted a host of capabilities outside of ASP.NET and made them available through Microsoft Extensions – covering hosting, logging, configuration, etc. In turn, the open-source Uno Platform Extensions are based on Microsoft Extensions and enable cross-platform scenarios for .NET applications such as Navigation, Localization and more.  In addition, we will cover the new Reactive extension for cross-platform scenarios inspired by Kotlin Flows, Scala Streams and Reactive Extensions  In this session we will show how you can bootstrap a new Uno Platform application and get started with proper architecture in minutes, for work that would usually take weeks to do.

‍

Design UI agnostic cross-platform applications with .NET

One of the first questions I hear from my clients, when they are starting developing a new cross platform applications with .NET, is: What framework should I use? Xamarin.Forms which is stable, MAUI which is the new child but still missing some things. But wait there is also Uno Platform and AvaloniaUI. The question is not wrong but maybe you could approach the problem in a different way? What if you could design your application to depend as little as possible on the UI framework thus making it easier to migrate from one UI framework to another without the need to rewrite everything. In this session I will show some strategies that you can use when you are developing a cross-platform application with .NET that should make testing, maintenance and migration easier .
