Essential Windows Presentation Foundation

Description

Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) replaces Microsoft's diverse

presentation technologies with a unified, state-of-the-art platform for

building rich applications. WPF combines the best of Windows and the

Web; fully integrates user interfaces, documents, and media; and

leverages the full power of XML-based declarative programming. In

Essential Windows Presentation Foundation, former WPF lead architect

Chris Anderson systematically introduces this breakthrough platform,

focusing on the concepts and techniques working developers need in order

to build robust applications for real users. Drawing on his unique

experience as team leader, Anderson thoroughly illuminates the crucial

new concepts underlying WPF and reveals how its APIs work together to

offer developers unprecedented value. Through working sample code,

you'll discover how WPF draws on the Web's simple models for markup and

deployment, common frame for applications, and rich server connectivity,

and on Windows' rich client model, simple programming model, strong

control over look-and-feel, and rich networking. Topics explored in

depth include:



- WPF components and architecture

- Key WPF design decisions--and why they matter

- XAML markup language

- Controls

- Layouts

- Visuals and media, including 2D, 3D, video, and animation

- Data integration

- Actions

- Styles

- WPF Base Services Essential Windows Presentation Foundation is the

definitive, authoritative, code-centric WPF reference: everything

Windows developers need to create a whole new generation of rich,

graphical applications.
