Let’s be honest: after .NET MAUI 6, the biggest feature in every further .NET MAUI release was “fewer critical bugs”. .NET MAUI 10 is no exception. It’s a stability release, and that’s a good thing. But if you only read the release notes, you miss the real story. Fuelled by AI-assisted development, the MAUI team built things in record time after the official release that would normally take years: a working Linux backend, MAUI in the terminal, Bootstrap CSS themes for native controls, XAML expressions, and visual AI support during development. You can clearly feel it: the rebel spirit of the Xamarin era is back, and .NET MAUI is more fun than ever. In this talk, Microsoft MVP André Krämer shows what this means concretely for your daily development work. You’ll learn how XAML source generation and C# expressions make your XAML files radically shorter and faster. You’ll see how existing single-page applications built with Vue, Angular, or React can be turned into native MAUI apps via HybridWebView. And you’ll experience how AI doesn’t just end up in your apps but transforms your entire development process — with tools you can use right away. At the end, you’ll take away four concrete things you can implement in your project next Monday.
