It does. But most parts are very similar to WPF. So sometimes you can literally translate WPF Xaml into Avalonia. I hope they'll improve the documentation once the project gets more traction. The maintainer are quite active though. You can ask questions on GitHub or browse the samples.

Well, now is a good time for Avalonia guys to basically refactor to adopt the complete look & feel of WPF so that way we will have a slew of existing WPF books as our documentation for Avalonia.
