Windows Presentation Foundation is Microsoft's API for creating Windows applications. It gives the programmer the ability to produce dazzling, graphics–rich programs easily without having to delve into the messy details of the graphics subsystem.
To use this power, however, the programmer must learn new concepts for laying out pages and displaying graphics. Illustrated WPF presents these concepts clearly and visually—making them easier to understand and retain.
Presents concepts in a clean visual manner that aids learning and helps readers understand underlying concepts. Provides comprehensive coverage of all the major features of WPF that a novice developer needs to be aware of to find their feet and begin creating well-architected solutions. The book is closely based on the author's Illustrated C# series of books, which have been very well received in the community.
