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. This book explains how WPF works from the ground up. It goes deep into the core of the technology in 800 pages of content-rich explanation. It will be one of the first books available on the topic, 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. The book provides 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.
