About C#/XAML for HTML5:

C#/XAML for HTML5 is a free extension for Visual Studio that enables developers to create cross-platform HTML5 applications exclusively using C# and XAML.

It is designed for the developers who use Microsoft languages and tools (C#, XAML, Visual Studio) and who would like to extend the reach of their applications to platforms other than Microsoft's (Windows, Windows Phone, Xbox), such as Android, iOS, Mac, Chromebook, BlackBerry, and Linux.

Moreover, it is also of interest to developers who wish to create client-side rich web applications ("single-page applications") using C#/XAML without having to manipulate HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
