The first screencast shows how to create the ugly version that I am going to work from in the later parts of the series. The ugly version lists all the videos (or ReferenceItems), and allows the user to see the explanation and play back the showcase videos.
That screencast is connected with the Transforming an Ugly Duckling to a Graceful Swan with Expression Blend and Silverlight - Part I article.
