That's a typo in the book. The file is not named MainWindows.xaml.cs, it is named MainPage.xaml.cs. Thanks for spotting it! I will fix that in the 3rd edition.

Hi Douglas,
Thanks for mentioning the typos on pages 222 and 250. Others have raised them as errata too, so they will be fixed in the 3rd edition.
Apparently Visual Basic will be supported in .NET Core 2.0, although I still think you're doing the right thing by learning C#. VB is definitely legacy at this point. I'm disappointed in Microsoft for not replacing VBA with a C#-based scripting language, like PowerShell, in the Office products for automation.
I agree that the latter half of the book ramps up what is expected of the reader, and you're right that it was a conscious choice. It's a tricky balance, because I wanted to include at least an introduction to the major app models (web, Windows, and mobile), but there are limits to space in a book like this, and I didn't want to annoy readers with too much hand-holding after they've mastered the basics.
I think it is especially noticeable for readers who attempt to go through the whole book in a single sitting. It might be less of a shock if the learning can be spread over several weeks or months, with time in-between to practice on some projects.
I do plan to fill out more explanations in the later chapters in the 3rd edition, because I agree that on balance the book would benefit most from effort in that area.
Thanks for your detailed feedback: it all helps in the continuous improvement of the book. :)
