Requiring no prior exposure to the subject, WPF in Action takes you smoothly from zero WPF knowledge to cruising speed. Following the crystalclear writing and practical C# examples, you’ll master XAML, WPF’s declarative language, and core components like layouts, styles, and the new event model. As the book progresses, you’ll tackle more sophisticated examples involving data caaess, custom controls, 3D, and animation.
