MK.NET - Matt Lacey - Are we really doing XAML the right way?

Details

Talk Description

Whether it be WPF, WinUI, MAUI, Xamarin.Forms, UWP, Uno Platform, Avalonia, or any other technology that defines UIs with XAML, I think we're all doing some things wrong!

What's the problem; how did we get here; and what can we do about it?
The solution isn't abandoning XAML entirely, adopting a new framework, or using a different pattern. The solution is treating XAML like a "real programming language."

Let me show you what we've been doing wrong, how we can do things differently, how it makes things better, and give you strategies for improving existing codebases.
Or, you can tell me why I'm wrong, and that it's still appropriate that the XAML files created today look like the ones created 15+ years ago.
