## Get Started
Uno Platform allows you to create single-codebase, cross-platform applications that run on iOS, Android, Web, macOS, Linux and Windows. You'll be creating cross-platform .NET applications with XAML and/or C# in no time.
The following sections will guide you through your development environment setup, a simple Hello World app, and more advanced tutorials.
To set up your development environment, first select the operating system you're developing on.
**I am developing on...**
# [**Windows**](#tab/windows)
If you're developing on Windows, we recommend you use [**Visual Studio 2022**](xref:Uno.GetStarted.vs2022), for the richest XAML development experience and broadest platform coverage.
If you already use and love **JetBrains Rider** or **Visual Studio Code**, you can also use them to develop Uno Platform applications. Check the support matrix below to see which target platforms they support.
**Choose the IDE you want to use:**
- [Visual Studio 2022](xref:Uno.GetStarted.vs2022)
- [VS Code, Codespaces and GitPod](xref:Uno.GetStarted.vscode)
- [Rider](xref:Uno.GetStarted.Rider)
To help you choose the appropriate IDE, the following table shows the compatibility of different development environments with various target platforms:
| | [**Visual Studio**](xref:Uno.GetStarted.vs2022) | [**VS Code**](xref:Uno.GetStarted.vscode) | [**Codespaces / Gitpod**](xref:Uno.GetStarted.vscode) | [**JetBrains Rider**](xref:Uno.GetStarted.Rider) |

The latest macOS release and Xcode version are required to develop with Uno Platform for iOS and Mac Catalyst targets. If you have older Mac hardware that does not support the latest release of macOS, see the section for [Developing on older Mac hardware](xref:Uno.UI.CommonIssues.IosCatalyst#developing-on-older-mac-hardware).
# [**Linux**](#tab/linux)
You can use either **JetBrains Rider** or **Visual Studio Code** to build Uno Platform applications on Linux. See the support matrix below for supported target platforms.
