• Making an android app with c#

  Xamarin - Basically an older version of MAUI. I would advise against creating new projects on Xamarin since MAUI is supposed to render it obsolete. Source: over 1 year ago

• App developer

  Microsoft Xamarin: For this you'll need to know C# and .net. Source: over 1 year ago

• I own a web development company in San Antonio and I'm looking for ideas to support the UTSA students with some sort of free courses or classes

  At my internship, we moved to Microsoft's Visual Studio for C# development from Java, and for application development we use Xamarin which can be used on Windows and Mac. Source: over 1 year ago

• Where to begin with idea?

  Of course, Unity is better with games. So, alternatives include MAUI, which is the new hip thing that Microsoft wants people to switch to. There is also WPF, WinForms, UWP, and Xamarin, which are compared nicely in this Reddit thread. Source: over 1 year ago

• React Native vs Flutter

  A bit later, Microsoft made their answer in the form of Xamarin, which got a lot of popularity. Xamarin is an open-source mobile app development platform later incorporated into Visual Studio. Xamarin allowed you to use C# to write business logic. Instead of HTML and CSS, it offered its markup language, XAML, which maps to the visual elements of the corresponding operating system.

• The Decline and Fall of Java on the Desktop Part 1 (1999-2005)

  > Java Swing still lets you make native-looking-and-feeling apps (with some care). I don't know of any new GUI frameworks that let you do the same. That's the whole raison d'être of the (C++) wxWidgets toolkit. [0] It fully commits to using native GUI widgets, rather than impersonating them. (That is, it wraps various other toolkits.) As others have pointed out, the other major cross-platform toolkits (Qt, GTK)... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Why is Audacity not up to date in Arch repo?

  That all being said: We are now all waiting on wxwidgets to release their next stable version so that we can upgrade. It makes no sense to use an unstable version of that upstream, as in its development releases it literally breaks on every patch level release. It also makes no sense to start packaging a custom version of wxgtk just for audacity (the overhead required is just not worth it). Source: over 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Is there any cross platform non native GUI written in C that looks good?

  Looking good is very subjective of course… did you take a look at wxWidgets? https://wxwidgets.org/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
