In this chapter, we will learn how to use the Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) pattern and data binding in .NET MAUI app development. MVVM is a UI design pattern for decoupling UI and non-UI code. data binding is the key technology that MVVM relies on. We will improve the design of our app using MVVM and data binding.
