XAML Tutorial

Tutorial to learn XAML and build modern applications.

The demos in the browser are made with Silverlight, the plugin once created to replace Flash and working in the desktop mode of Windows 8 on Internet Explorer 10.

If the demos does not work, try another browser. They work for me on Chrome and IE9 with the Silverlight 4 plugin (the tutorial was designed on Silverlight 1 and updated).
