Foundations of WPF: An Introduction to Windows Presentation

Windows Presentation Foundation is a cutting-edge presentation framework

for creating high-fidelity applications for Windows Vista and Windows

XP. WPF is a composite technology with a noteworthy graphics engine that

gives you more control over your application's screen output than has

ever been possible in Windows before. New control frameworks and a new

XML-based markup language, XAML, complete the core WPF package. On top

of this, WPF can be linked to the new Microsoft Expression Suite to

simplify the creation of your user interfaces, and it can be linked to

.NET 2.0 to handle complex business logic. Foundations of WPF: An

Introduction to Windows Presentation Foundation teaches you everything

you need to get started with the technology, and is broken into three

parts. The first introduces and contextualizes the WPF technology; the

second part dives deeper into the facets of the technology that are of

immediate and valuable use in developing applications; the last part

offers you the real-world perspective you need to be productive in the

community and customer base. In summary, this book:

- Explains how WPF interoperates with myriad new ancillary and support

technologies being released by Microsoft (XAML, WCF, WinFX, and the

Expression Design Suite)

- Gets you up and running, building applications for the new Windows

"Vista" as quickly as possible

- Separates design and implementation to make life easier from a

business and development perspective
