AI demos are the easy part. If you’ve been around for a while, you know the reality is different: generating code is easy; confidently putting your name on it and shipping it is what counts. Meet Uno Platform Studio. What happens after the prompt is what matters most. 👇 A real enterprise .NET application needs cross-platform consistency, design-system awareness, live runtime context, and UI validation across every state. With Uno Platform Studio, your prompt isn’t the end of the workflow. It’s one possible beginning. Start with AI in your browser - no installation required. Describe your application, watch it get scaffolded live, and preview it while it’s running. Then bring the same project into your preferred IDE or CLI and keep building. Or start with C# and XAML. Edit the running application visually with Hot Design, iterate with Hot Reload across web, desktop, and mobile, and accelerate screen design with ready-made UI blocks. Move freely between AI, visual tooling, and code. Use AI where it creates leverage and take control wherever you need it. Two workflows. Same project. Same Uno Platform foundation. One continuous path from idea to production. Try Uno Platform Studio in your browser 👉 platform.uno

My first blog post for 2026, guess what it is about? Inviting developers to come hang out with is at @VSLive! We're putting the final touches on Las Vegas (March) and the PM meet and greet on the Redmond campus is shaping up nicely for July. Plus I linked to some of the most popular videos we recorded in Orlando right before Thanksgiving. Enjoy!
