Now that .NET MAUI is released, it’s time to get started building your first cross-platform applications! We’ve got a lot of exciting things planned for the next few months to help you get started, including a full day .NET Conf Focus event, worldwide Reactor events, and local community event opportunities.

Join us for .NET Conf: Focus on MAUI on August 9th

.NET Conf: Focus on Windows

.NET Conf: Focus on MAUI is a free, one-day livestream event on August 9 starting at 9 AM Pacific time featuring speakers from the community and Microsoft teams working on and using .NET Multi-platform App UI. Learn how to build native apps for Android, iOS, macOS and Windows with a single codebase using .NET MAUI. Hear from the team building the .NET MAUI framework and tools as well as experts building .NET MAUI apps, libraries, components and controls.

Join us for our tour of virtual and in-person events

We have some great opportunities coming up for you to get involved around the world!

The Microsoft Reactor Bengaluru events are being planned with watch parties and follow-on workshops in 100 communities in India! You can watch them online by registering here or join a local watch party and workshop in-person (more details coming soon!)
