Quick recap. What is .NET MAUI?

.NET Multi-platform App UI (.NET MAUI) is a cross-platform framework for creating native mobile and desktop apps with C# and XAML. It enables cross-platform development for Android, iOS, macOS, Windows and Tizen. It is designed to create the best app experience available, just as though it was a natively designed application.

Using .NET MAUI, you can develop apps that can run on Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows from a single shared code-base.

The joy of cross-platform development is that apps look and feel like they were built for each operating system without the need for additional code. .NET MAUI uses native UI via the premier app toolkits supplied by each platform and Microsoft’s fastest mobile platform to date paired with modern developer productivity.

And... What is Blazor?

Blazor is a web framework that allows developers to build interactive web applications using C# and .NET. It eliminates the need for JavaScript and allows for server-side rendering, making it a popular choice for web development.

With Blazor, developers can use their existing knowledge of C# and .NET to create responsive and interactive web applications.

Note: For a more detailed introduction to Blazor, please read this Blazor introductory blog to get acquainted.

Blazor Hybrid applications with .NET MAUI

Blazor Hybrid support is built into the .NET Multi-platform App UI (.NET MAUI) framework. .NET MAUI includes the BlazorWebView control that permits rendering Razor components into an embedded Web View. By using .NET MAUI and Blazor together, you can reuse one set of web UI components across mobile, desktop, and web.

What are the danger signs to look out for when selecting a .NET MAUI Blazor Hybrid development partner?

Many companies will offer .NET MAUI Blazor application services because they have a history with .NET but the likelihood is that this will end up costing you valuable investment of time and money as you need to wait for them to learn Blazor and MAUI during the development of your application.

You may well end up waiting for the team to skill up with Blazor Hybrid at the cost of your budget and resources as getting it right requires extensive experience.

MULTIDISCIPLINARY ROLES

Assemblysoft is not just seasoned with over 25 years in the realm of software development but is also renowned for its adaptable, multi-disciplinary team. The hallmark of our approach is the capability to crossover roles seamlessly during various phases of the project lifecycle. This fluidity ensures that at each phase, the project benefits from a concentration of relevant expertise, while also ensuring that the broader context is never lost.

Phases where role crossover is particularly beneficial include:

Planning & Design:

In this phase, Senior Architects frequently adopt a consultative demeanour, safeguarding that proposed designs are not only technically viable but also cohesively aligned with overarching architectural objectives. Simultaneously, our Senior UI/UX and Graphic Designers pivot to work in tandem with Developers, ensuring that designs are not only aesthetically pleasing and user-friendly but also technically actionable, thereby marrying functionality with user-centric design.

Development:

Amidst active development, it’s commonplace for Senior Developers to assume an architectural mindset, executing pivotal design decisions dynamically. Similarly, Mid-Level Developers may sporadically adopt a senior stance, spearheading specific modules or features, while Senior UI/UX Designers ensure that user experience remains a focal point, adjusting designs as needed to align with developing functionalities.

Testing & Quality Assurance:

While each project is allocated a dedicated QA analyst/tester, we acknowledge that every team member, inclusive of our Senior UI/UX and Graphic Designers, brings a primary skill set that often dovetails into QA roles. This is particularly evident during user acceptance testing, ensuring that the product adheres not only to technical specifications but is also finely tuned to business and user needs, balancing technical robustness with intuitive user interfaces.

Deployment & Feedback:

Post-deployment, Developers, Architects, Senior UI/UX Designers, and QA amalgamate roles, collating feedback, addressing issues, and ensuring that the product is seamlessly integrated into the client’s ecosystem, achieving the envisioned business outcomes while maintaining a sterling user experience. The insights from the UI/UX team, in particular, become crucial in refining and iterating the product based on real-world user interactions and feedback, ensuring the solution not only meets but exceeds user expectations and business objectives.
