Back in 2022, I had one of my most active conference years ever.
I delivered four separate talks at the NTK conference—covering .NET MAUI, Blazor, cross-platform development, and even a deep dive into one of the very first production .NET MAUI apps in Slovenia.

For various reasons, I never managed to publish these sessions on my blog, even though I did that regularly in previous years. So today I’m finally fixing that and adding all four NTK 2022 talks here—better late than never.

After 2022, I took a two-year break from speaking…
…but this year, I’m back on stage again. 😊

Below are summaries of all four talks in the order they were delivered.

1) Build a Mobile or Desktop App with .NET MAUI

📍 Europa B+D
📑 Slides: https://rasper87.blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/1_ustvarimobilnoalinamiznodotnetmaui.pdf

This session introduced the fundamentals of .NET MAUI, Microsoft’s modern cross-platform framework that allows developers to build native mobile and desktop applications from a single shared codebase.

Key topics:

• One project for Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, and Linux
• Native access to device-specific features
• UI built with XAML that compiles to native controls
• Live demos covering:
  • layouts
  • navigation
  • REST API calls
  • using a local SQLite database
  • handling platform-specific features
• Introduction to MAUI + Blazor Hybrid, enabling HTML/CSS/C# UI inside a native MAUI shell

The goal was to give attendees a clear picture of how MAUI simplifies cross-platform development and why it’s becoming a key part of the .NET ecosystem.

2) .NET MAUI Blazor – Build a Universal App with HTML, CSS, and C#

📍 Emerald 1
📑 Slides: https://rasper87.blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/2_mauiblazor.pdf

The second session focused on the powerful combination of .NET MAUI + Blazor, showing how developers can build a single codebase that runs as:

• a desktop app
• a mobile app
• and even a web app

all by using HTML, CSS, and C#.

Highlights:

• Explanation of MAUI Blazor architecture
• Benefits of reusing the same components across platforms
• How BlazorWebView integrates web UI inside a native MAUI app
• Multiple live demos demonstrating shared UI logic

The session showed how MAUI Blazor provides a path for .NET developers who prefer web technologies but still want native performance and full device access.
