I am just starting with Uno, and this book is the perfect reference for beginners like me. It covers the whole cycle of production and enough topics and common scenarios to get you started with basic apps. The concepts are well explained. Users of C# and XAML will feel right at home.

It's usually hard for me to stick with computer programming books in general. But this book is really approachable and its writing style made it easy for me to want to continue through each chapter. As with any new platform or framework - there is a lot of hidden details and gotchas that can make it difficult to work with. Uno is no exception, but this book highlights many of those issues making Uno more approachable.This book does a fabulous job at making learning Uno a pleasure.

Before buying this book I was only casually interested in the Uno Platform but now, after reading this book, I am excited about it and how much effort it can save me when developing an application targeting multiple platforms!I have never used the Uno Platform or any XAML-based frameworks before and this book was a great way to get up to speed. I have been a C# developer since the .Net Framework 1.0 beta days and appreciated this book did not attempt to teach C# but only focused on the Uno Platform and becoming productive through the whole development lifecycle (develop, debug, test, and deploy).What made this book easy to follow and a breeze to get through were the well thought out, “real-world” example apps used to teach the different concepts presented in the book. These weren’t your typical “todo list” apps that never match up to any real work you might perform. The example apps you write address real-world issues and scenarios and are great for learning the ins and outs of Uno Platform development without getting bogged down by concepts that don’t help you learn Uno.I haven’t enjoyed a programming book, or read through one as quickly, since the first and second editions of Hardcore Visual Basic by Bruce McKinney (yes I’m dating myself). I appreciate this book being under 250 pages yet not sacrificing any content. You get exactly what it says in the TOC. I applaud it not wasting my time with useless fluff. You can tell this book is written by professional developers who also work on (or are very experienced with) Uno itself.A recent development in the .Net world, post publication of this book, is Microsoft is no longer developing UWP for .Net 5 and beyond so if you’re building a new app with Uno be sure to use the WinUI-based Uno Platform project templates.

This book is very useful if you are just starting to use Platform Uno. It goes it to detail about setting up the project and how the structure is setup and provides very useful project examples instead of just the typical one button, quick data grid you see in a lot of books. I like how they even mention the other competitive platforms like Xamarin and the upcoming MAUI. I had already started working on migrating an old Silverlight 5 application to Uno when I received this book. There were things that I found that would have save me some time from the beginning but that I will be using going forward with my next projects. Overall it is a well done book for beginners or just for quick reference for experience Uno developers.
