# Welcome to UI for Blazor Documentation Thank you for choosing Telerik® UI for Blazor! The Blazor framework by Microsoft allows you to create rich web user interfaces with .NET and C#. The Telerik® UI for Blazor components facilitate the front-end development by providing ready-made UI components. The UI for Blazor suite has the same HTML rendering and Theme stylesheets as the Kendo UI suites, so previous experience with them can be helpful. The components in UI for Blazor are *native Blazor components* and not wrappers over jQuery widgets. Visit the Telerik UI for Blazor product overview page to learn the benefits of using our components. ## Getting Started If you are new to Telerik UI for Blazor, start from the [Telerik UI for Blazor Quick Start Tutorial](https://www.telerik.com/blazor-ui/documentation/getting-started/web-app).
