1.0 out of 5 stars Poor, 29 Aug 2007
I wanted a conceptual introduction to WPF just so that I would know what it was all about. Gave up reading it word for word after three chapters because I found myself reading and re-reading sections. Not only could I not understand them I wondered if they were grammatically correct. I wondered if it was the generation gap or maybe some new way that Americans were using the English language - or was I just losing the power to comprehend?
Fortunately I swapped to "Pro WPF" by Matthew MacDonald (which I'd bought at the same time) and my fears for my mental capabilities left me - it is written in very clear language - he makes an effort to explain things - it is very thorough and (seemingly) comprehensive.
