XAML Tutorial

XAML is the markup language to design the user interface of Metro apps in Windows 8. It is also a part of Silverlight, the plugin created to replace Flash on the common environment, included Windows 8 on IE 10 as a desktop software.

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).

A part of this tutorial is common to the Silverlight Tutorial.
