XAML or C#?

Generally, using XAML provides a much better overview, since the page is a hierarchical structure of objects and XAML is a very nice way of defining that structure. In code, the structure is flipped around as we need to define the innermost object first, making it harder to read the structure of our page. This was demonstrated in the Creating a page in XAML section of this chapter. Having said that, it is generally a matter of preference as to how we decide to define the GUI. This book will use XAML rather than C# in the projects to come.
