XAML - I need help! - Developers

Hello Facepunch, I hope you are all feeling in a helpful mood today... :downs: I am at the moment jobless, as are many people where I live, and as a consequence finding a job is near impossible. But I have recently gotten an offer to work at [URL="http://www.e-scape.co.uk/"]E-scape[/URL], a local company that does everything from game development, (Although only games for companies, e.g [URL="http://www.e-scape.co.uk/services/game-development-services/"]The National Lottery[/URL]) web design, digital marketing etc etc... They have tasked me with learning XAML as quickly and thoroughly as possible, but I am having a hard time finding any [B]good[/B] starter tutorials as XAML is only the GUI for the programming for the actual application (Normally in C# I believe) behind it. In case it matters, I have a little experience in HTML and CSS, and according to my basic knowledge HTML is also a mark-up language, so surely there must me some transferable experience. I am also having a hard time finding ways to use this language in a practical fashion which is a great help when it comes to learning a new language, unlike HTML/CSS, which you can see what you are creating straight away, and that visual feedback is the only thing that can keep my impatient mind at rest. So I am here to ask you, Facepunch to either point me in the right direction, or to help me or whatever you can do. All help is greatly appreciated. Pretty please with a :zoid:on top...

It must just be me, not the tutorials, because I am finding this seemingly user friendly language really quite hard to begin with. I am going to try and find out what they actually use this for, to give me more context.

Try looking at the starter tutorials for Silverlight as it uses XAML too. [url]http://www.silverlight.net/learn/creating-ui[/url]
