No video appears (no buffering, time is at 00:00, pause button is visible, etc) for me - I'm using Chrome with Silverlight v4.0.50917.0 and other videos here work fine.

Not only is the video not appearing, but the WMV video download link is broken.

After downloading the MPEG and watching it, here are my comments/opinions:

It would have been nicer to see the end-product a few times as he's coding - otherwise, it's hard to create a mental picture of all the XAML.

The presenter's naming conventions seem outdated and don't follow MS's own Framework Design Guidelines (which I only point out because this is a video aimed at teaching, so it should present the best example possible).

Keywords/topics (besides those in the description):

Creating a treeview-like grouping of items using an expander

Overall impression:

Useful if you are interested in learning about styling and grouping, but long-winded on these topics. For an 18-minute video, not a lot of useful info was disclosed. 3/5.
