Book Overview
Microsoft's Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) provides the foundation for building applications and high-quality user experiences for the Windows operating system. It blends the application user interface, documents, and media content, while exploiting the full power of your computer's operating system.
Its functionality extends to the support for tablet PCs and other forms of input device, and it provides a more modern imaging and printing pipeline, accessibility and UI automation infrastructure, data-driven user interfaces and visualization, and integration points for weaving the application experience into the Windows shell.
This book shows you how WPF really works. It provides you with the no-nonsense, practical advice that you need in order to build high-quality WPF applications quickly and easily. After giving you a firm foundation, it goes on to explore the more advance aspects of WPF and how they relate to the others elements of the .NET 4.0 platform and associated technologies such as Silverlight.

Rated 5 starsThe Ultimate Resource for Learning and Navigating in WPF

Rated 5 starsPro WPF in C# 2010
I was fortunate enough to get a review copy of "Pro WPF in C# 2010: Windows Presentation Foundation in .NET 4", Matthew McDonald, Apress Publishing. I have already read almost everything Matthew has written on Smart Client (we used to call it "Windows") development, so I was looking forward to diving into the text. And it doesn't disappoint. Pro WPF is not a light read. If it's in the framework, Matthew covers it. This...

Rated 5 starsA Must Have Book for Developing WPF 4.0
I have the first and second edition of this book (Pro WPF: Windows Presentation Foundation in .NET 3.0, Pro WPF in C# 2008), so I was hesitant in buying this version. I had not destroyed the Pro WPF in C# 2008 book, like I did Pro WPF: Windows Presentation Foundation in .NET 3.0, so I didn't really need a new copy of the book. I am glad that I did buy it because there are plenty of new features covered in this version making...
