Kaxaml, a lightweight XAML editor

Robby Ingebretsen came by to explain what Kaxaml is and how it can be useful to you when developing XAML-based applications.  Not only does he introduce the tool, but he also touches on some of the lesser known features and add-ins that may be missed on an initial glance.

Robby also discusses the fact that he will be presenting two workshops at MIX09.  The first is Design Fundamentals for Developers and the second, with Jaime Rodriguez, Hiking Mt Avalon.

Finally I can start using WPF. Visual Studio IDE is just too much.

You still need something to compile your projects, though.  Maybe csc.exe?

That's hillarious!  I've certainly never thought of Kaxaml as a replacement for Visual Studio, but that's great news if it works for you.  By the way, if you haven't run across it yet, the "Express" versions of Visual Studio (e.g. C# Express) work great with WPF.

LOL WTH,  the visual studio 2008 express I am using is not nearly as full WPF designer as this one.

It works a dream for DLR languages though. (IronPython, IronRuby...).  With either of those, you don't need VS200* (Outside of writing extensions.) And Kaxaml + Notepad++ + IronPython is a really tasty quick development environment. Especially on older underpowered laptops.

Nice! Pete Ohanlon took Robby up on his challenge and added the XAML Scrubber as a VS AddIn.
