I'm working through the Head First C# (3rd ed) text with instructions specific to VS 2012 and I'm having trouble finding the equivalent in VS Community 2015.
The text says to begin a new project with Windows Store -> Blank App (XAML) but I don't see that as an option in my version of VS. The closest I could find was Windows Forms Application but that doesn't seem to be right since it didn't generate the MainPage.xaml among other things.

In a Xamarin. Forms application, XAML is mostly used to define the visual contents of a page and works together with a C# code-behind file. The code-behind file provides code support for the markup. Together, these two files contribute to a new class definition that includes child views and property initialization.
Once the app is generated, Visual Studio should open the XAML designer pane for the default window, MainWindow. If the designer isn't visible, double-click on the MainWindow. xaml file in the Solution Explorer pane to open the designer.
Create a new Visual Studio project that targets Windows 10 and the UWP. Write XAML to change the UI on your start page. Run the project on the local desktop in Visual Studio. Use a SpeechSynthesizer to make the app talk when you press a button.
Go to add new items -> online templates and then choose 'Silverlight Application Class'. This will add a new app. xaml for you.
WPF is the closest you can get if you're not on Windows 8, the book says it too and it links to here where you can get the WPF version of the chapters.
