Professional .NET MAUI with ASP.NET Core 10: Build Modern Cross-Platform Apps and Scalable Web APIs with C#, Blazor, and Cloud Integration (Professional Software & Digital Tools Library)

Book Description

Have you ever wished you could build one codebase that runs beautifully across phones, tablets, and desktops while also powering a fast, scalable backend—without constantly switching your mindset between client-side and server-side development?

What if your mobile application and web API could work together as one coherent system that you understand and control from end to end?

That is the gap this book is designed to close.

Who Is This Book For?

Are you a .NET developer who is comfortable with C# but wants to connect the dots between cross-platform application development and modern, cloud-ready backend services? Have you built applications before but treated APIs as a separate concern? Or are you a backend developer who wants a deeper understanding of what happens on the client side?

If any of these sound familiar, this book gives you a practical path forward.

What Will You Learn?

You will begin with the fundamentals of building a modern cross-platform application and connecting it to a reliable web API. As you progress, you will develop practical knowledge of:

• Designing scalable cross-platform applications with clean, maintainable architecture
• Working with data binding, state management, and offline-first application design
• Reusing UI components and development patterns across different client experiences
• Designing fast, maintainable, and properly versioned web APIs
• Implementing authentication, identity, authorization, and secure communication
• Building real-time functionality, notifications, live updates, and background processing
• Connecting applications to cloud-based storage, hosting, and serverless services
• Creating CI/CD workflows for reliable application and backend deployments
• Testing individual components, APIs, integrations, and complete user journeys
• Preparing applications to scale from an initial release to a growing user base

Why Does This Matter?

Have you ever followed a programming tutorial that demonstrated one feature perfectly but left you wondering how that feature fits into a complete, production-ready application?

This book takes a different approach.

Instead of treating each technology as an isolated topic, the chapters build upon one another to show how the pieces work together. You will explore architecture, development, security, data, APIs, cloud services, testing, deployment, and scalability as parts of one connected system.

By the end, you will work through a complete capstone application that brings these concepts together and demonstrates how modern software can be planned, built, tested, deployed, and maintained.

What Makes This Book Different?

There is no need to wade through unnecessary theory or disconnected examples. The focus is on practical understanding, clear explanations, useful code, architectural decisions, common mistakes, and the tradeoffs developers face when building applications for real users.

Whether you are expanding your .NET skills, moving toward full-stack development, or looking to understand the complete journey from application interface to backend infrastructure, this book is designed to help you build with greater confidence.
