Drawing shapes inside XAML?

I want to have an animation to show how an"8" is drawn in Windows Phone app, inside xaml / expression blend, what would be the best approach to do this, the only way I can think of is making a few pictures of the "8" at different stages, and inside expression blend create a storyboard, and add a new picture of the "8" every few seconds.
Any tips on a better approach or tutorial would help a lot,
thanx

How to display multiple images in Cocoa for OSX?

What I'm trying to achieve sounds pretty simple: regular simple window with a text field, view ,and a button.
In the field I'm placing the number (32 for example) and after I hit the button my view should be filled with 32 images. Don't really know how to accomplish this since I'm pretty new to Cocoa development.
So far I was just able to hardcode three NSViews and display 3 images at a time...which is not really what I want. So if anyone have any thoughts or hints I would totally appreciate it!
Thank you
You can use IKImageBrowserView. Take a look at ImageBrowser sample code.

master detail and single view application mixed

I am new here and new to iOS, so my apologies in advance if my question is silly.
I have just finished a course on iOS and Xcode and learnt how to build the different types of apps, like master-detail, tabbed or single view applications.
My question is : Is it possible to build an app that would be for example a master-detail app but would look like a tabbed one on one of the views and would look like a page-based on another view? In other words is it possible to create an app that would be a mix of several types ? I have Googled everywhere but I can't find anything. I may be using the wrong key words as on the top of that, I am French. I am not looking for precise explanations, just if somebody could point me in the right direction where to look and continue studying.
Thanks in advance and have a nice day.
Well am not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for but you can take a look at this example. Its a combination of UISplitViewController & UITabBarController

Recreate the BookCase in iBooks

I just wanted to know how you could implement a bookcase, like in iBooks, into your iPhone app.
I presume you would need to use a UIScrollView, but then I read somewhere that you need to use a UITableView. Which is it?!
You'd use code that others have already written, such as AQGridView.
I'm not sure if there's a better way, but you could create multiple small views or images (these would represent each book) then add these small views/images to the subview of a larger view in a linear format (leaving a space between each element). Then just set the background of your larger view as an image of a bookcase. Sorry I don't know of a better way.
And for the above solution I would use a UIScrollView.
You can implement it anyway you like, but it seems to me that a UITableView would be the easiest (which will scroll anyway). All of the magic will happen in your UITableViewDataSource, which is where you will decide what books are placed on what row.
Once you have decided which books to display you will have create a custom tableview cell that draws the appropriate objects.
To be honest, while not too difficult of a task, it will take a lot of effort to get looking right. If you are not comfortable with custom drawing then be prepared to spend time learning about the various image/graphic APIs.

Zoom-able/ resizable grid with Objective-C

Hi i'm thinking about making midi step sequencer and I need to make a note grid/matrix that resizes/ adapts when you zoom. I've been searching for different ways of doing this but cant figure out a way that works well.
I thought about drawing cell objects made with (NSRect) but I couldn't figure out how to get the right interaction when resizing.
This is my first "biggish" OBJ-c project so please don't kill me, im still battling with the frameworks and the syntax is so foreign to me.
You could use Core Animation layers to create your grid.
Take a look at Apple's Geek Game Board sample code project:
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#samplecode/GeekGameBoard/Introduction/Intro.html
The code shows a way to display different kinds of card/board games using CALayer.
The Checkers game looks to be the closest to the grid you want to create.
