Since this book is about modern cross-platform development using C# 8.0 and .NET Core 3.0, technically, it should not include coverage of Windows desktop apps because they are Windows-only. Nor should it include coverage of cross-platform mobile apps because they use Xamarin instead of .NET Core.

In Chapters 1 to 19 we are using cross-platform Visual Studio Code to build all the apps. Windows desktop apps are built using Visual Studio 2019 on Windows 10. Cross-platform mobile apps are built using Visual Studio 2019 for Mac and require macOS to compile.
