Weather App Sample
This sample demonstrates a cross-platform weather application built with .NET MAUI. It showcases how to fetch data from a public API, display it in a user-friendly interface, and handle common UI patterns.
The application provides real-time weather information, including current conditions, forecasts, and location-based search. It's designed to be a practical example of how to leverage .NET MAUI for building robust mobile and desktop applications.
Key Features Demonstrated:
API Integration
Fetches weather data from a public API (e.g., OpenWeatherMap) using modern .NET networking capabilities.
UI Design Patterns
Employs MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) pattern for clean separation of concerns and maintainable UI.
Cross-Platform UI
Utilizes .NET MAUI's XAML-based UI for a single codebase that targets Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows.
Data Display
Efficiently displays complex data like weather icons, temperatures, and forecast details.
Navigation
Implements intuitive navigation between different views, such as current weather and forecast screens.
Localization (Optional)
Includes examples of how to localize the application for different languages.
