Building an app using XAML is different from both earlier Windows and web development models. While there's still room for the MVC and MVP design patterns, the unique capabilities of XAML mean that the Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) design pattern is often a better option. In this session you'll get a basic understanding of the MVVM design pattern itself, and more importantly will see practical examples of its use in building Silverlight and WPF applications.
