Explore the mvvm pattern and the microsoft toolkit mvvm for dotnet maui, including models, views, view models, data binding, and how the toolkit enables observable properties and reduced boilerplate.

Connect the UI to data binding in .NET MAUI using a main page view model and INotifyPropertyChanged; bind an entry to a greeting and reflect changes.

Install the Community Toolkit MVVM package and enable data binding in a .NET MAUI app. Create observable properties with notify property changed to auto-update greetings from user input.

Learn to create and populate a collection view in .NET MAUI, bind it to an observable collection in a view model, and customize item templates and layout.

Bind user input from an entry to a view model property, add items to an observable collection via a relay command, and update a label and collection view with additions.

Learn to handle user input and delete items in a .NET MAUI app by binding collection view to a view model and implementing a delete command with the community toolkit.

Demonstrate data binding and end user input handling by creating a collection view that captures item name and description and displays them using array objects rather than the array string.

Create an item model with observable properties for item name and item description, wire it into the page view model, and bind inputs to display items in a collection view.

Learn to apply pre-defined themes and styles in dotnet maui by handling system theme changes, configuring light and dark modes, and using resource dictionaries, colors, and styles.

Explore customizing controls in .NET MAUI by using app theme binding to switch colors for light and dark themes, merging resource dictionaries, and styling buttons via static resources and styles.

Explore how to customize a .NET MAUI app's theme by using resource dictionaries, dynamic resources, and a team manager to switch between warm, nature, and default themes.

Master animations in a dotnet Maui app using async/await and view extension methods to fade, scale, rotate, and translate. Explore out-of-the-box options and easing functions to enhance UI interactions.

Create a button click that triggers a loading animation and an API request, using basic animations and a task delay to mock the response.

Implement a button click animation in a dotnet maui app by showing a loading image rotation during a simulated api request, with a rotate flag and reset to zero degrees.

Explore simple navigation in .NET MAUI by routing between content pages, using push modal async, push async, and pop modal async, and understand when to use the app shell.

Explore how a navigation page uses a hierarchical stack with push and pop to enable forward and backward routing in a dotnet maui app.

Explore shell navigation in dotnet maui, using uri-based routing with routes and app shell to navigate between pages, register routes, and manage back navigation with go to async.

Pass data between pages in a .NET MAUI app using uri-based navigation and query parameters, wired through MVVM view models and the Community Toolkit, including primitive values and object parameters.

Learn to access native and cross-platform APIs in dotnet maui, including connectivity checks, platform-specific code, and implementing a simple check internet button with a viewmodel and the community toolkit.
