Use a functional component approach for sample app

[Odonno]

In order to make XAML application easier/faster to create with a Redux pattern, we should consider a functional component approach for XAML components using a React-like paradigm.

Some ideas:

• virtual dom but for XAML (virtual-xaml?)
• components written entirely in C# (to enable reuse/composition/HOC)
  • consider XamlDirect to write pure C# component https://twitter.com/Harini_Kannan/status/994259237529206784
• JSX for C#/XAML combo (*.csaml files?)
  • merge both world (convert XAML into C#/XamlDirect component?)
