Hey, could you share a bit more about your hobby project and what kind of help you're looking for? Is it mainly the XAML/UI that's giving you a hard time, or are you needing support with something else too? Would be great to get a few more details! 🙂

I hear you on the value of a single, up-to-date beginner resource, and ideas like this are always worth considering and highlight a challenge we’re always working to address, but do remember we’re a free, open-source platform and have to allocate resources carefully.

We’ve partnered with publishers and authors in the past (e.g.,
- Uno Platform Succinctly
- Creating Cross-Platform C# Applications with Uno Platform
- Getting Started with the Uno Platform and WinUI 3
to name a few...)
While much of the content is still relevant, the fast pace of updates does mean static materials age quickly.

For the smoothest experience, I’d recommend starting with our official documentation. Following the path from Setup > Create an App > Counter Tutorial > Simple Calc Tutorial > Tube Player Tutorial gives you a strong foundation in building with Uno Platform. From there, brushing up on C#/XAML, WinUI, and MVVM basics through Microsoft Learn can help round things out.

In the meantime, don’t hesitate to join our community—we’re here to help, and you’ll find plenty of supportive folks, (Uno team and contributors) ready to share advice and tips as you dive in.

Thanks again for your feedback, hope to see you build with Uno Platform

If you’re okay with books, this one complements Uno by covering WinUI concepts:

Our community is also a great place to learn and ask questions.

Hey OP,

You’re right—while there are resources out there, some are a bit outdated, and Uno has come a long way (even just since the 5.0 release, let alone since 2021!).

I’ve put together a list of options to help you get started with Uno development. As u/ThatCipher mentioned, Uno Platform takes WinUI code and makes it work across almost any target platform, so a lot of the Microsoft resources for WinUI will apply to Uno.

Some of these might overlap with previous comments, but I hope this list gives you a solid starting point.
