## What it is
The official collection of sample applications for .NET MAUI, Microsoft's cross-platform framework for building native mobile and desktop apps with C# and XAML. It includes versioned sample apps (AI chat clients, point of sale, weather, calculator), navigation examples, and Xamarin.Forms migration guides.

## Use cases
- learn .NET MAUI by example
- find sample code for building cross-platform mobile apps
- see how to build a chat UI with Microsoft.Extensions.AI
- migrate a Xamarin.Forms app to .NET MAUI
- study responsive UI that adapts between desktop and mobile
- learn navigation patterns in .NET MAUI

## When to choose
- you are learning .NET MAUI and want runnable example apps
- you need reference implementations of MAUI features like navigation, layouts, or platform integration
- you are upgrading from Xamarin.Forms and want migration guidance

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready application rather than sample code
- you are not using .NET/C# for mobile or desktop development
- you need a UI framework itself rather than examples for one
