Building the Swetugg Mobile App Live! with Blazor Hybrid

That's right! In this session we're going to build a mobile companion app for this very event live on stage by using Blazor Hybrid

Experience the thrill of live coding as we develop the Swetugg app in real time! Will we end up with something that we can actually use for the rest of the event or will we horribly fail and watch Gerald put in blood, sweat and mostly tears for an hour?

This session will guide you through the process of building an app that lists speakers and sessions and what else we want to fit in, highlighting best practices and tips and tricks for cross-platform development with Blazor Hybrid.

Perfect for developers of all levels, you'll walk away with actionable knowledge on building dynamic and engaging apps quickly and efficiently.

Or, at the very least you'll have a good laugh and learned what NOT to do!

Hybrid Web and Desktop apps with .NET MAUI and Aspire

Do you have a website or web app that you want to bring to a native device? Do you want to use desktop functionality - like offline support and notifications - in your web project? Do you want to have an app for your product, but not rewrite your whole UI? If you use Blazor, you can bring your app to the desktop with just a few lines of code thanks to .NET MAUI!

And, new in .NET 9, use any frontend web technology - including React, Angular, Vue, and more - in your .NET MAUI app to share your UI across the web and mobile/desktop. Plus, with .NET Aspire, orchestrating your web apps and APIs, mobile/desktop code, and services is easier than ever.

Join Maddy Montaquila, Senior .NET PM, and Gerald Versluis, Senior .NET Engineer, to have all these questions and more answered!
