As you can see, UWP is one of the most sophisticated members of the .NET Core family. While being quite similar to the Xamarin.Forms architecture in nature and utilizing a similar compilation/execution process, it differs in certain fundamental aspects. However, it can easily be included in, and executed with, Xamarin and Xamarin.Forms projects without increasing development timeline or maintenance costs, with the added benefit of you being able to deliver your applications to various UWPs.
Over the next few chapters, we will concentrate on Xamarin and Xamarin.Forms by creating our own Xamarin.Forms application. We will reference UWP where necessary.
