# Video Onboarding
Telerik UI for WinForms offers a comprehensive [video getting started course](https://www.telerik.com/support/video-courses) available to all developers. This class is designed to help you get started with the Telerik UI for WinForms components and features. It aims to put you in the shoes of an engineer who adds new features to an existing application.
The course starts with an introduction to the Telerik UI for WinForms components and its benefits. The training flow then takes you to an overview of the demo application and further, you get into creating inputs, data grids, charts, document viewers, and more. The course also talks about how to enhance the components with one of the built-in themes and/or by customizing the default styles.
Additionally, you will learn about other important Telerik UI for WinForms built-in features, such as globalization, localization, and accessibility, as well as options for reporting.
