Once you get the general idea of the Animation's markup, you'll want to play a bit. All of the animations are built out of simple, reusable building blocks that you can composited together. Before long you'll be creating some very sophisticated effects. By grouping steps together and specifying them to be run either in sequence or in parallel, you can achieve almost anything you can imagine, without writing a line of code!

The XML defining the animations is very easy to learn and write, such as this example's show and close markup.
