About this course
The journey
Avalonia lets one C# codebase run as a native desktop app on Windows, macOS and Linux. In this course you build a complete personal budget app: accounts, transactions, categories, monthly charts and CSV import.
You learn the MVVM pattern properly, store data with SQLite through EF Core, and package installers for all three platforms at the end.
