Product Description

Product Description
The Microsoft Windows Presentation Foundation is a key part of .NET 3.5 and provides the foundation for building applications and high-quality user experiences in Windows Vista. It is likely to see wide adoption across the Microsoft .NET programming community. WPF blends together user-interface design, documents, and media content, while exploiting the full power of your computer for the first time (it is able to write output directly to your computers graphics card). This book explains how WPF works from the ground up. It will be one of the first books available, and also one of the most detailed. It follows on from the author’s previous and highly successful books, covering Windows Forms (WPF's predecessor technology) and earlier versions of WPF. It is a one-stop shop in Apress’ proven ‘Pro’ style that leaves readers with a deep understanding of the technology and able to take the concepts away and apply them for themselves.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good introduction and a good reference, 28 Jun 2008
I work with WPF on a daily basis and used this book to get up to speed from pretty much nothing. It provides a good grounding in all aspects of WPF, gives more advanced information that you can note and come back to later, and serves as a good desktop reference while coding. The level is good for someone familiar with C#, the tone is professional and the writing style is pleasant to read and flowing.

Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reading and extremely useful, 18 Dec 2008
By Zvonimir Kuntic (Belgrade, Serbia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have read it like a novel. The author's writing style and the book graphic presentation are very, very pleasant. As a complete novice in WPF (even not very familiar with Windows Forms), I've got a broad picture of what WPF is, what it can do and WHAT IT CANNOT DO (the last thing is really rare in similar books, though IMHO the most important one when starting with a new technology). Almost any question that I could imagine while reading was answered by the author somewhere in the following text. I didn't start yet developing in WPF seriously, but I am sure that this book will be as great as reference as it was as the introduction to WPF. Thi is a must for anyone starting with WPF!

Having read most every book on WPF of late, this would be my desert island WPF (sad, eh?). It's big but then nothing about WPF is small. Read more
