Introducing .Net 6: Getting Started with Blazor, Maui, Winui3, Desktop Development, and Containers

Welcome to .NET 6, Microsoft's one unified framework that converges the best of the modern and traditional .NET Framework. This book will introduce you to all the new aspects of Microsoft's fully supported .NET 6 Framework and will teach you how to get the most out of it. You will learn about the progress to one unified .NET, including MAUI and the revival of desktop development. You will dive into Roslyn, Blazor, CLI, Containers, Cloud, and much more, using a "framework first" learning approach. You will begin by learning what each tool is, its practical uses, and how to apply it and then you will try it out on your own for learning reinforcement. And, of course, there will be plenty of code samples using C# 10.
This book is aimed at .NET developers, both junior developers and those coming from the .NET framework, who want to understand everything the modern framework has to offer, besides the obvious programming languages. While you will still see a lot of fabulous C# 10 throughout the book, the focus of this learning is all about .NET and its tooling.
