# What is the Uno Platform
The Uno Platform (Pronounced 'Oono' or 'Ouno') is a Universal Windows Platform Bridge that allows UWP-based code (C# and XAML) to run on iOS, Android, and WebAssembly. It provides the full definitions of the UWP Windows 10 October 2018 Update (17763), and the implementation of a growing number of parts of the UWP API, such as **Windows.UI.Xaml**, to enable UWP applications to run on these platforms.
Use the UWP tooling from Windows in [Visual Studio](https://www.visualstudio.com/), such as [XAML Edit and Continue](https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/visualstudio/2016/04/06/ui-development-made-easier-with-xaml-edit-continue/) and [C# Edit and Continue](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/debugger/how-to-use-edit-and-continue-csharp), build your application as much as possible on Windows, then validate that your application runs on iOS, Android and WebAssembly.
Visit [our documentation](doc/articles/intro.md) for more details.
# Getting Started
## Prerequisites
* [**Visual Studio 2017 15.5 or later**](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/) with:
* **Universal Windows Platform component** installed.
* **Xamarin component** installed (for Android and iOS development).
* **ASP.NET/web component** installed, along with .NET Core 2.2 (for WASM development).
To easily create a multi-platform application:
* Install the [Uno Solution Template Visual Studio Extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=nventivecorp.uno-platform-addin).
* Create a new C# solution using the **Cross-Platform App (Uno Platform)** template, from Visual Studio's **Start Page**.
See the complete [Getting Started](https://platform.uno/docs/articles/get-started.html) guide for more information.
For a larger example and features demo:
* Visit the [Uno Gallery and Playground](https://github.com/unoplatform/uno.Playground) repository.
* Try the [WebAssembly Uno Playground](https://playground.platform.uno) live in your browser.
