.NET MAUI Full Course : Cross Platform Development
.NET MAUI allows you to create multi-platform apps using one code base. That means you can develop for Android, iOS, macOS and of course Windows at the same time!
In this course I provide numerous examples on how to use all the tools MAUI provides. Check out the long table of contents below.  
 

A rare mineral, first discovered in Urals Mountains of Russia in 1839 by Lev Prevoski, has excited scientists by exhibiting properties that could be exploited to make our internet around a lot faster than today

My guess is that this could be part of a long-term strategy to retire the full .NET Framework , rather than bringing any real value to .NET Core or desktop applications.

the ASP.NET Core results are almost two times (2x) faster than the Full Framework version.  

.NET Framework is the implementation of .NET that’s installed on over one billion machines and thus needs to remain as compatible as possible. Because of this, it moves at a slower pace than .NET Core.
