2.0 out of 5 stars Not a practical guide, 22 Feb 2007

By	M. Wittenburg (London, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The lack of screenshots is challenging. If code "looks" like it might do what's required I have to type it out - this makes for a lot of typing when an example from the book doesn't quite fit the bill. Makes me think of the UNIX command-line junkies of the 90's - everything's got to be written out by hand to see what it'll do on the screen.

The book lacks practical examples such side-by-side code/XAML comparisons and how they'd work together to, say, load a .jpg from the file system or a web service for use as a tiling brush.

It's probably quite useful to propeller-heads that like theoretical breadth rather than practical application.

4.0 out of 5 stars S_OK, 23 Jul 2007

By	jo0ls (London) - See all my reviews

It's a good book. You need to sit at your computer and work through all the examples to get the most from it. I wouldn't have been able to stay awake just reading about the WPF anyway.
You can download the code to save you typing it. I prefer typing it out anyway as it helps me to learn. I didn't notice the lack of screenshots as I was running the samples.
It's well written, there aren't many mistakes (see the errata), it introduces new concepts slowly and it covers a lot of ground.

3.0 out of 5 stars No Pictures!, 23 Jan 2007

By	Phil Essex (UK) - See all my reviews

I'm sorry, but for a book on User Interface programming, I was astonished to find that this book lacks ANY screenshots! Therefore although the explanations and theory are coherently explained in prose, the book would be a lot less dry with some illustrations to show the WPF in action.
