I'm looking for (online) resources to learn/lookup XAML constructs.
Can you recommend any good blogs, tutorials, references for XAML?

Well, MSDN's XAML Overview is a pretty good place to start.
From there, the material discussed in that article is built upon in XAML Syntax In Detail.
If you want to go even deeper, you could have a look at the XAML Language Specification, although the other two articles are probably at the right level of detail to be useful.
While its xaml is specific to Silverlight I thought this was a good resource:
Some more links for knowing about XAML -
How XAML works : http://www.i-programmer.info/programming/wpf-workings/446-how-xaml-works.html
The New Iteration(A must read whitepaper): http://windowsclient.net/wpf/white-papers/thenewiteration.aspx
It is also good to have knowledge of BAML(Compiled version of XAML)
B is for... BAML: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jimoneil/archive/2009/01/12/b-is-for-baml.aspx
It may be a little high level but you must know the basic guidelines/conventions (in case you work on a commercial project later):
