**Course Title:** .NET MAUI App Development **Section Title:** Introduction to .NET MAUI **Topic:** Overview of the course project **Project Overview** In this course, we will be working on a real-world project to develop a cross-platform mobile application using .NET MAUI. The project will help you gain hands-on experience with the concepts and tools covered throughout the course. Our course project will be called "Travel Planner". **Travel Planner App** Travel Planner is a mobile application designed for travelers to plan their trips. The app will allow users to: * Search for destinations and view their information (description, pictures, map) * Create and manage itineraries (add destinations, activities, and accommodations) * View weather forecasts for their destinations * Get real-time notifications and alerts for flight delays, cancellations, or weather updates * Connect with other travelers to share experiences and tips **Course Project Goals** Throughout this course, we will work on the Travel Planner app, focusing on the following key areas: * Setting up and structuring the .NET MAUI project * Building and designing the user interface (UI) using XAML and C# * Implementing data storage and retrieval using local and remote data sources * Integrating third-party APIs and libraries (e.g., Google Maps, Weather APIs) * Managing app navigation, events, and lifecycle **Learning Objectives** By the end of this course project, you will be able to: * Design and implement a cross-platform mobile application using .NET MAUI * Use XAML and C# to build and interact with the app's UI * Integrate third-party APIs and libraries to enhance the app's functionality * Store and retrieve data locally and remotely * Apply navigation, events, and lifecycle management techniques in .NET MAUI **Project Structure and Requirements** The project will be divided into several modules, each focusing on a specific aspect of the app's development. We will provide you with the basic project structure and starting point, and then guide you through the implementation of each module. **Resources and Guides** For your reference, here are some official .NET MAUI resources and guides that will be helpful throughout this course project: * [Microsoft Documentation on .NET MAUI](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/) * [.NET MAUI GitHub Repository](https://github.com/dotnet/maui) **Leave a comment below or ask for help if you have any questions or concerns about the course project.**
