This book explains how WPF works from the ground up. It is one of the first books available, and also one of the most detailed. It follows on from the author’s previous and highly successful books covering Windows Forms. It is a one-stop shop in Apress’ proven ‘Pro’ style that leaves readers with a deep understanding of the technology and able to take the concepts away and apply them for themselves. The book is written by Matthew MacDonald, author of two highly successful books on WPF’s predecessor technology and with a proven track record of explaining breaking technologies clearly and precisely.
