Build cross-platform native apps with .NET MAUI and Blazor

[@robertical]

I can't wait to see that running in my machine and not only on demos.

[@mrrdrnew]

Great session as most of them were, but why is the camera switching / taking the studio or the talking person's view instead of focusing on what is being shown on the monitors, which is in my opinion what really matters?

[@22737716p]

a pity that html select not working in blazor maui, try develop something without dropdown....

[@HanifKarimi]

awsome demo, features, what about performance, do we have any benchmark result? do we have this sample code somewhere to grab?

[@chrisbadal5852]

No Linux support? Damn, this was almost cool and useful.

[@deedev7279]

No , Linux is Second-class citizen for MAUI

[@rikk0011]

:( so I will stick with my electron for few more months...

[@drdream123]

I don't see why it wouldn't work for Linux as Xamarin and .net core already run on linux

[@Admiralfeb]

if it works on Mac, it should be able to work on linux. they have very similar base systems. Even if it's just an electron-shell for blazor, I'd be happy with it.

[@andrewbeeman84]

Eilon is a modern Prometheus bringing native functionality to the humble .Net web devs. Oh great one, we praise your genius and thank you for your gifts!

[@AgsyMixChannel]

I have to hold on into my inner developer excitement on this as much as I can, as from my previous experiences on any new MS dev stuff before it went nowhere. Let see how it goes after a couple of years, perhaps. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

1% are innovators. 2% are early adopters. 87% are the mainstream. 10% are laggards. The beauty of all technology is you can choose your camp.

[@gdargdar91]

Shows empty window when run on mac catalyst.

[@amijk2956]

how to deploy blazor MAUI on windows tablet?

[@zimcoder]

Is that .NET podcast sample available?

[@JamesMontemagno]

Is now available github.com/microsoft/dotnet-podcasts

[@amrosamy8232]

I really liked the demo, and I can't wait to try it in my PC

[@omuleanu]

will components that use JS interop work here ?

[@queenstownswords]

Hello, how does bUnit factor into testing hybrid?

[@MichaelArgentini]

Can Blazor Web View components use the height of the web content (dynamic height)?

[@andrepretorius6127]

Yes

[@JorijnLamberink]

So where is the code?

[@zebedie2]

You can also do Linux if you use Chromely

[@samferrer]

Do a template contest and select the best one

[@elietebchrany]

Source code?

[@tomsnow8364]

Appreciate the info & demos.

[@ImperatorZed]

Love this talk so much

[@branimirteodorovic2297]

If MAUI with Blazor is a native app, I don't know what isn't

[@DukenJR]

Don"t touch my LEGO you kids

[@PeterKellner99]

I thought you jumped into managing teams. Are you back from the dark side?

[@cethrivias]

“I switched spaces to tabs” there it is. The demo is ruined

[@drdream123]

I don't want my mobile app to look like a bootstrap web page..but this does open the door to unlimited flexibility if you build native UIs with a sprinkle of html when necessary..

[@ZephrymWOW]

So don't use bootstrap? Its almost like you have an entire ecosystem of alternatives to pick from or you can make your own.

[@enielezi319]

Great video. I think Blazor will be the future of development! Much better than MVC (with no viewstate!) and lightweight (unlike webforms!), and enough with so difficult proprietary Android/iOS devs. Bring on Blazor for all!!!

[@pwhsoft]

You are the best!

[@mahdinejad]

It seemed very interesting on the surface but I was pretty disappointed when figured it's just a glorified phonegap clone. Worst thing is that it work on top of xamarin which is a total deal breaker for me.

[@jobiej7416]

Have you tried it?

[@oldcountryman2795]

Nobody cares.

[@mahdinejad]

@@oldcountryman2795 You obviously cared enough to read and comment on it, so thanks!

[@mahdinejad]

@@jobiej7416 yes. I and tried explaining what I meant 3 times. But looks like that's not possible on a moderated comment section

[@broadshare]

Good stuff

[@rushas]

The whole lego thing confused me lol

[@Raizin-d8p]

>Build cross-platform native apps with .NET MAUI Or, rather, don't since it won't be available until forever

[@ever-modern]

I love Blazor more than most of everybody, but the frequency of the word 'native' and 'run natively' in this video and alike makes me doubt, that web view control is really that 100% native.

[@quoc9]

I Love .NET

[@hanscarlsson7276]

Just a lot of talk about and around the subject, no concrete subject matter, like for example how to create a new project in VS.

[@davechilds3268]

Ummm... how about New Project -> MAUI (either regular or Blazor) ... ? Or from the command line "dotnet new maui" or "dotnet new maui-blazor"?

[@haroldemmers3678]

Booo --> I want Linux too

[@bobweiram6321]

Big fail! We don't want another Electron-like least common denominator solution. We want powerful native UIs leveraging the full capabilities of the OS. Microsoft just can't get it! Didn't you learn anything from Windows 8?

[@AntiPolarity]

Made the same mistake opinion at first when saw the browser component. But it is native and work exactly as i want it to work. So i would call it another big win since LINQ appeared.

[@zimcoder]

You may need to listen to this again. There are Electron apps that have been successful, look at VS Code by Microsoft, it is one of the most popular code editors. But perhaps you are just angry with Microsoft, now that is another story altogether.

[@obinnaokafor6252]

Are you angry?

[@bobweiram6321]

@@zimcoder Yes, there are quite a few electron based Apps that are successful, such as VS Code and Discord. Unfortunately, these apps have very simplistic UI's which don't have anywhere near the same performance and quality. The interfaces don't have a native look and feel. For Windows, Android and Linux, they are more than adequate since the standards for a quality UI are much lower than on MacOS and iOS. Steve Jobs realized this early on and encouraged native development for the iPhone. It's why the iPhone apps do much better than Android apps where developers just leverage HTML and CSS to build interfaces.

[@BinaryLizard]

Came here to say the same thing. They keep on saying ”it runs natively”. Embedded web browsers are not native. Unless they agree that phonegap is native, because that’s what this is ; Phonegap , except Blazor will run on top of a sluggish mono runtime. Sorry guys , I don’t get the point of this. Just learn Xaml, that’s as native as you will get.
