Synopsis

Create beautiful, functional, and cross-platform desktop applications with real-world frameworks.

Whether you're a beginner developer or looking to expand your skills beyond web or mobile, Desktop Development in Practice guides you through the modern techniques of building robust, graphical user interface (GUI) apps for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

This practical book explores powerful frameworks like Electron, Qt, and .NET MAUI, showing you how to design intuitive interfaces, manage state, handle file systems, and integrate with hardware and APIs. You'll go beyond the basics to learn layout management, event handling, multi-threading, and platform-specific optimization—all with code samples you can actually use.

By the end, you’ll have the knowledge to create, package, and deploy cross-platform desktop apps that are fast, scalable, and user-friendly.
