    copied!<p>Honestly I think the best way to learn is to use an animation tool. If you have access to Expression Blend you can use it to learn a lot about how WPF animations are setup in Xaml. There are many nuances to animation, like keyframe easing, that are just hard to understand and get right by plucking away at IntelliSense in Visual Studio.</p> <p>As I’ve mentioned before, many people have access to Expression Blend and don’t realize it. Many college students and some high school students get it free through <a href="https://www.dreamspark.com/default.aspx" rel="noreferrer">DreamSpark</a>. Corporations that have MSDN licenses get it. Startups can also get it through the <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/BizSpark/" rel="noreferrer">BizSpark</a> program.</p> <p>At any rate, if you’re interested in learning animations through Expression Blend, these starter videos on Channel 9 are a decent place to start:</p> <p><a href="http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/jennmar/Animation-Using-Expression-Blend-Part-1-How-to-create-an-animation/" rel="noreferrer">Animation Using Expression Blend: How to create an animation</a></p> <p><a href="http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/jennmar/Animation-Using-Expression-Blend-How-to-start-animations-on-events/" rel="noreferrer">Animation Using Expression Blend: How to start animations on events</a></p> <p><a href="http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/jennmar/Animation-Using-Expression-Blend-How-to-make-an-animation-follow-a-path/" rel="noreferrer">Animation Using Expression Blend: How to make an animation follow a path</a></p> <p>Finally, I’ll leave you with a little teaser that animations get even more fun in a yet-to-be announced release of Blend. Keep an eye on <a href="http://www.visitmix.com/" rel="noreferrer">Mix</a> in March for more information.</p>
