Mobile Development with .NET MAUI Practice Exam

Mobile Development with .NET MAUI Practice Exam

Mobile Development with .NET MAUI is about building mobile apps that can run on Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac using one shared codebase. .NET MAUI (Multi-platform App UI) is a framework by Microsoft that allows developers to write their app once and use it across multiple platforms. This saves time and effort because you don’t need to create a different version of the app for each device type.

It’s a great option for anyone looking to create apps for phones, tablets, and computers without starting from scratch every time. Developers use languages like C# and XAML to design how the app looks and works. With .NET MAUI, making modern, good-looking apps that work everywhere becomes faster and simpler.
