Shopping cart sample, the MVVM way

Some time ago someone asked the question (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/surfaceappdevelopment/thread/d300e842-5a83-4d00-98e8-13125ebfb6de) on how to do an animation of a scatterviewitem to perform some task. We discussed his problem using the Shopping cart example that comes with the Surface SDK.

In answering the question, I refactored the shopping cart sample to use the MVVM design pattern, and my favourite library, MVVMLight.

I can go on and on about the time to invest to learn MVVM (and MVVMLight), it's one of my favourite discussion topics. That's just because some years ago I didn't see why MVVM is good, persisted in learning the details and now think it's the best think there is ?

To download the sample, go to http://download.sevensteps.com/samples/ShoppingCartExample.zip.

Hope this helps.

Bye,
