We've created a series of State of .NET online events each focusing on a specific .NET topic. This installment covers Windows Desktop Development With .NET 5. While topics such as Blazor or Azure may be getting a lot more attention, Windows Desktop development is still a very important topic. Not just that, but with technologies such as WinUI, MAUI, and others, there is a lot of movement in this segment of .NET development. Join Markus Egger to take a close look at what you need to know to make the right decisions for your path forward.

Topics covered in this event include:

  • WinForms - in .NET 4.x and .NET 5
  • Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) - in .NET 4.x and .NET 5
  • Xamarin Forms and MAUI
  • WinUI and Fluid UI
  • Electron and Photino
  • and more…
