# Layouts

Each layout to be shown on screen is a XAML file. XAML is declarative markup language by Microsoft. You can either edit these files directly, use the built-in basic designer or use Visual Studio.

XAML files are markup files for Microsoft WPF and used in programming modern software. They are somewhat similar to HTML files but different. 

With XAML, you declaratively describe what is shown on your screen, composing controls and nesting them in panels. 

The following websites will give you an idea on how to start coding XAML:
