Avalonia Connect #2: How Unity Uses Avalonia with Daniel Peñalba

Join us for Avalonia Connect with Daniel Peñalba from Unity. We’ll talk not only about the technical side, but also about the broader journey: Daniel’s experience over time building cross-platform applications, the challenges and lessons learned across different technologies, and how that path led to Avalonia. We’ll discuss why Avalonia was a good fit, what it enables for cross-platform .NET desktop development, and the practical experience of building complex developer tools for demanding real-world workflows. Topics will include cross-platform development, UI architecture, performance, developer experience, and what teams should consider when adopting Avalonia for production applications. If you’re building cross-platform apps with .NET, this session is a great opportunity to hear first-hand experience from a real production context.
