What better way to learn a new technology than with a hands-on tutorial with step-by-step instructions and code samples?When you finish or fork this tutorial, you will have an application like this:

Steven Giesel recently released a 5-part series documenting his first experience building applications with the Uno Platform.Follow his steps as he walks you through setting up the Uno Platform environment, giving his thoughts on the platform, and ending with a hands-on demo to build a Kanban-style Todo app that runs in the browser, desktop or mobile!

Part 1

As a new user, Steven learned Basics of the Uno Platform, including how the platform differs from .NET MAUI.With a basic understanding of the Uno Platform, the first part further provides the basics needed to set up a development environment before developing small cross-platform applications,

Part II

The second part focuses primarily on implementing the first functionality of the application to be able to add your first To-do items.This section starts by showing the Uno Platform platform itself, and how easy it is to get started with code and requirements.

• Requirements: Basic Information on Todo Matters
• Domain objects
• Swimlane diagram
• Add Todo Matters

Part 3

With the basic structure available, Part 3 drills down to implement the changes needed to allow user interaction.Additionally, by implementing a modal dialog for all platforms, users will be allowed to enter basic information about the Todo items they want to track.

Part 4

The third part completes a form that also verifies that the model is in effect.Steven picks up where he left off in the previous section and starts to create a ViewModel that lays the groundwork for the next sections.

Part 5

Part 5 describes how to drag and drop, how to save, and how to load the final implementation of the state.Aesthetically, this application is simple.But most importantly, we have a fully functional to-do app that can be used on all platforms using the same source code.Finally, Steven concludes the series with a sincere review of his experience with the Uno Platform.
