Still find XAML intimidating?  Well, throw in MVVM and certain design practices and it can get worse. But the truth is that it isn't as complicated as it appears to be. In this short session, I'll give you the basics of how XAML works. I'll cover its syntax, control usage, the visual tree, and the scariest animal of all, binding. I'll give you your moment of clarity, I promise.

You will learn:
• Understanding of XAML controls
• XAML layout techniques
• XAML data binding

Visual Studio 11: Turning Ideas into Software

The world of software today is defined by the word “Experience”. You can see it in the way people have adopted new experiences for devices of different form factors, you can see it in how people want to experience their information and you can see it in the context of how people interact to build software solutions. Regardless of the solution you’re building, the fundamental need for a compelling experience exists. In Visual Studio 11, Microsoft aims to ensure that developers have all the tooling to create compelling user experiences, an IDE that sets a new bar for the developer experience and a family of products dramatically improves the team experience for everyone.
