Section 2: Writing and Developing Uno Platform Apps
In the following four chapters, we'll look at four separate apps to show the different functionality available for the apps you build with Uno Platform. These apps are created for the same fictional business (UnoBookRail), which is part of the public transit authority for a fictional city (UnoBookCity).
The business is responsible for all the technology used as part of the light-rail network in the city. Light-rail networks are electrically powered trains that only carry passengers and exist in many cities worldwide. They are known by names including Metro, Rapid Transit, Subway, Tube, Underground, U-Bahn, and many more.
Don't worry, you don't need to know anything about these trains or how they work. The following figure shows a map of the network to give you an idea of what we're talking about. You'll see the main line heads west from the airport along the river. When it reaches the center of the city, it branches north and south along the coast.

The four apps will show how Uno Platform can be used to create applications for different scenarios and show different functionality being used in appropriate scenarios.
