In this episode, recorded live at Microsoft Build, we sit down with Beth Massi! From community legend to product manager on the .NET MAUI team, Beth joins us for a deep dive into the world of hybrid app development. We unpack the story behind the name "MAUI," the evolution of Xamarin, and how web technologies can blend seamlessly into native apps. Along the way, we explore AI's growing role in developer tooling, the power of open source collaboration, and yes… even Star Trek captains. Whether you're building mobile apps, curious about hybrid frameworks, or just here for the sci-fi and geek-outs, this episode has something for you.
