Caliburn Silverlight Navigation Walkthrough: Introduction
I'm about 24 hours later than I expected with this, but Rob Eisenberg had submitted a post to me about a new series of starter kits and samples he's going to be doing for Caliburn. I've added a Caliburn tag to SilverlightCream, and this first is a Navigation Shell. Check out all the features on the blog post! Then go grab the code :)
