Chapter 2. Getting Started with XAML

As with most development-oriented tools, it's important to have the proper environment before you can start developing user interfaces with XAML. This chapter discusses the prerequisites necessary to define and run XAML applications and later details the basic structure of a XAML project, as well as how to compile and run that application.

This chapter assumes that you have a working knowledge of XML and are at least somewhat familiar with other user-interface markup languages, such as ASP.NET and HTML.
