Where to find good resources to learn XAML? [close

Question

I'm looking for (online) resources to learn/lookup XAML constructs.

Can you recommend any good blogs, tutorials, references for XAML?

Answer 1

Some more links for knowing about XAML -

How XAML works : http://www.i-programmer.info/programming/wpf-workings/446-how-xaml-works.html

The New Iteration(A must read whitepaper): http://windowsclient.net/wpf/white-papers/thenewiteration.aspx

It is also good to have knowledge of BAML(Compiled version of XAML)

B is for... BAML: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jimoneil/archive/2009/01/12/b-is-for-baml.aspx

Compiled XAML = BAML not IL

It may be a little high level but you must know the basic guidelines/conventions (in case you work on a commercial project later):

XAML Guidelines : http://www.cookingwithxaml.com/content/xamlguidelines/xamlGuidelinesDraft0.pdf

XAML Conventions: http://groups.google.com/group/wpf-disciples/web/wpf-and-xaml-coding-guidelines

XAML guidelines and best practices: http://www.85turns.com/2009/02/09/xaml-guidelines-and-best-practices/comment-page-1/#comment-1419

Answer 2

Well, MSDN's XAML Overview is a pretty good place to start.
From there, the material discussed in that article is built upon in XAML Syntax In Detail.
If you want to go even deeper, you could have a look at the XAML Language Specification, although the other two articles are probably at the right level of detail to be useful.

Answer 3

Best value for the money XAML (Silverlight QuickStart)

Answer 4

While its xaml is specific to Silverlight I thought this was a good resource:
