After learning to create controls using the C# program, in this video, you will learn to recreate that using the XAML code.

3. Understand MAUI Layouts

In this video, you will learn to create a new content page and understand the layout structure of MAUI.

4. Set Global Markup Values

In this lesson, you will learn about the Extensible Application Markup Language extension and set aside labels.

5. Define Platform-Specific Values

Here, you will learn about platform-specific markup and look at device configurations that determine the app's performance.

6. Shared Resources

This video demonstrates sharing resources that are not coupled with any one type of control.

7. Navigating Multiple Pages

In this video, we will look at playout navigation, a window we created for the mini-icon that slides from the side into the center.

8. Section Summary

This video briefly outlines and recapitulates what you learned through the lessons of this section.

1. Section Overview

This section outlines what you will learn in this section, including navigation properties, different layouts, and the MVVM and CRUD models.

2. Setup .NET MAUI Project

In this video, you will learn to set up the .NET MAUI project and create a global JSON file to begin the project.

3. Create Data Model

In this lesson, we are going to set up our data model in which we are going to store the elements of the data.

4. Create Data Access Services

In this video, we will create a data access service class that will behave as the transporter for the application data store and the actual application.

5. MVVM Toolkit Updates

In this lesson, we will look at the updates from the 8.0.0 Preview 4 regarding the changes in the class names.

6. Understanding the MVVM Pattern

In this video, you will learn to create our view model. You will learn to create an abstract base class, which acts as the transmitter of the properties' inheritance to the rest of the classes.

7. Set Up View Model and Command

In this lesson, you will learn to set up the view model for the car listing case called the "CarListViewModel".

8. Understanding Dependency Injection

You will learn about dependency injections that link one base class to another and how it is facilitated in the .NET MAUI app.

9. Implement Data Template and Collection View

In this video, you will learn how to decide on the user interface for our application. We will create a template and a collection view.

10. Style Our List Page View

This video demonstrates how to improve the aesthetics of the application interface that we created in the previous lesson.

11. Implement a Details Page

In this video, you will learn about implementing the details page and understand the syntax used step by step.

12. Exploring Storage Options

In this video, we will look at the different options for storage, the most suitable option, and when it would be the most suitable option to use.

13. Add SQLite Database to App

This video demonstrates how to set up our SQLite database to the application we created to store the data in the data model.

14. Setup Form to Add and Delete Records

This lecture takes us through the process of setting up a form to input data into the database, and you will also learn how to add and delete records from the database.

15. Section Summary

In the final video of this section, we will briefly recapitulate what we have learned so far and brush up on the skillsets learned.

1. Section Overview

This video demonstrates how we will begin to use the Restful API to complement our created mobile application.

2. Setup API Project

In this video, you will learn how to set up our API project. We will choose to build using the .NET Core Web API.

3. Setup CORS Policy

In this lesson, we will look at setting up Cross Origin Resource Sharing (CORS), which will be used whenever a device accesses an API across the network.

4. Setup Database

In this video, we will delve deeper into configuring our database as APIs will have their database and are the point of information or point of reference to any third-party application.

5. Configure API Endpoints

In this video, you will learn what an API endpoint is and how to create the API endpoints, which uses the MAP function with the verb (get, put, delete, for) of choice to run the function.

6. Test API Functions

Here, you will learn about testing and running the API functions we created on the mobile application using Postman.

7. Prepare Server for API Deployment

To deploy the API we created smoothly, we will look at some of the housekeeping functions we would need to indulge in and then run the API.

8. Refactor and Publish API To Local Server

In this video, we will consider the factors before publishing our API to a local server and other configuration considerations to take when developing an API against an Android emulator.

9. Configure Mobile App for Network Connections

In this lesson, we will examine a few explanations of how our emulators work and consider the configurations based on that.

10. Refactor MAUI App for API

Here, you will learn to refactor our mobile application to communicate with the API. You will also learn to create additional API services to enhance the mobile app.

11. Essential Fixes

In this video, you will learn to fix errors arising when we test our API by running it, then identify the errors and fix them.

12. Section Summary

This video summarizes what we learned through the section and looks at some of the intricacies of API connectivity relative to Android versus other devices.

1. Section Overview

This video briefly outlines what you will learn in this section, including authentication and authorization, creating login pages, and setting up a secure logout system.

2. Add Identity to API

In this lesson, you will learn to add support for the authentication leverage for an API. We will use the Identity library that is built into the system.

3. Set Up Login Endpoint

Here, we will understand how to create a login endpoint. You will learn how to receive the login information and how to validate it.

4. Add App Loading Page

We will look back at the .NET MAUI app and create two pages: the application loading page and the application login page.

5. Add App Login Page

In this video, you will learn to add an application login page and look at the activity that needs to happen before the login is executed.

6. Seed Users and Roles

After creating the login page, you will learn to populate the seed users and define their roles in the system.

7. Authentication and Authorization to API

In this lesson, you will learn to set up the configuration as needed to govern the issuance and valuation of our access tokens.

8. Set Up JSON Web Token Generation

In this lesson, we will focus on generating an access token and ensuring that the content of the token is readable.

9. Set Up Login Logic and Flow

In this lesson, we will look back at our .NET MAUI app and outfit it with logic to handle, login, and manage the login flow by extending the API access.

10. Adjust App Flow and Layout

Here, you will learn to modify the user interface. You will learn to navigate through the login and main pages and simulate the content displayed based on the roles of the seed users.

11. Handle Logout

In this lesson, we will look at handling the logout operations. You will learn to add a logout operation and a logout button to allow the seed users to log out at will.

12. Section Summary

This final video will recap the concepts we have learned in this section, including creating logins and logouts, seeding users, creating default admins, and handling the login and logout flows.
