A few days ago I realized that although I’ve been actively following .NET MAUI since the very first preview releases, my blog doesn’t really show that story. In the last few years I simply didn’t have enough time to keep this place updated, which means that a lot of MAUI-related content never made it here.
So, let’s start fixing that.
Today I’m sharing a short video I recorded three years ago, back when I was still working in one of my previous companies (not my most recent one). It’s not a deeply technical, developer-oriented presentation, but more of a high-level overview that introduces the platform and what it enables.

Why .NET MAUI matters
.NET MAUI is a cross-platform framework that allows you to build a single application from one shared codebase, and run it on:
- Windows
- macOS
- Linux
- iOS
- Android
This means that the same logic, UI structure, and project architecture can power desktop and mobile experiences at the same time.
And if you combine .NET MAUI with Blazor, you push this even further — a single codebase can serve:
- Desktop apps
- Mobile apps
- Web applications
All with shared components, shared UI logic, and shared development patterns.
About the video
Unfortunately, the video is recorded in Slovenian and not in English — sorry to all my non-Slovenian readers — but it still gives a good introductory overview of the concepts, goals, and the direction Microsoft was taking with MAUI at the time.
Even though the video is older, the core ideas remain relevant, and it’s a nice warm-up for all the new MAUI-related content I plan to publish here.
More MAUI content coming soon
I’ve been following .NET MAUI closely from the very beginning, experimenting with previews, RC versions, and release builds. Now that I’m restarting my writing cadence, I’ll finally start sharing more of that knowledge here.
More articles, samples, and insights on .NET MAUI and Blazor Hybrid apps are coming — I promise.
That’s all folks!
Cheers!
