Premier League MAUI App 
A cross-platform Premier League app implemented with .NET MAUI for learning purposes
Project Overview
This Premier League app is a learning-focused project implemented using .NET MAUI (Multi-platform App UI). It serves as an excellent example for developers, especially those transitioning from WPF to cross-platform development, to understand the similarities and differences between MAUI and WPF.

1. MVVM Architecture
- Pure MVVM implementation without third-party frameworks
- Proper use of data binding and commands
2. UI Components and Styling
- TabBar implementation for navigation
- Use of CollectionView for efficient list rendering
- Custom DataTemplates for flexible UI design
- Implementation of built-in themes
3. Cross-Platform Design
- Responsive layouts for various screen sizes
- Platform-specific adaptations where necessary
4. Resource Management
- Utilization of .svg resources for scalable graphics
- Implementation of Geometry for custom shapes
5. MAUI-specific Features
- Exploration of MAUI-specific controls and APIs
- Demonstration of platform invoke (P/Invoke) for native functionality
