If you want to build applications that take full advantage of Windows Vista's new user interface capabilities, you need to learn Microsoft's Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). This new edition, fully updated for the official release of .NET 3.0, is designed to get you up to speed on this technology quickly. By page 2, you'll be writing a simple WPF application. By the end of Chapter 1, you'll have taken a complete tour of WPF and its major elements.

WPF is the new presentation framework for Windows Vista that also works with Windows XP. It's a cornucopia of new technologies, which includes a new graphics engine that supports 3-D graphics, animation, and more; an XML-based markup language, called XAML, for declaring the structure of your Windows UI; and a radical new model for controls.

This second edition includes new chapters on printing, XPS, 3-D, navigation, text and documents, along with a new appendix that covers Microsoft's new WPF/E platform for delivering richer UI through standard web browsers -- much like Adobe Flash. Content from the first edition has been significantly expanded and modified. Programming WPF includes:

Scores of C# and XAML examples that show you what it takes to get a WPF application up and running, from a simple "Hello, Avalon" program to a tic-tac-toe game
Insightful discussions of the powerful new programming styles that WPF brings to Windows development, especially its new model for controls
A color insert to better illustrate WPF support for 3-D, color, and other graphics effects
A tutorial on XAML, the new HTML-like markup language for declaring Windows UI
An explanation and comparison of the features that support interoperability with Windows Forms and other Windows legacy applications
WPF represents the best of the control-based Windows world and the content-based web world. Programming WPF helps you bring it all together.

Review:
Great Book from Excellent Authors

The life of a computer consultant can at times be very trying. I've been tackling new technology for over twenty years and the transition phase is always interesting. You're not only struggling to find time to learn the new technology, but since there's almost no public expertise to tap into (even Google can't find information that hasn't been written yet) I rely on books and whatever online forums are the most active.

In the case of Windows Presentation Foundation, there is one fairly active online forum on MSDN:

http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=119&SiteID=1

But even the forums are fleeting. If the person that knows the answer to your question happens to see it fly by and is in the mood to tap out a detailed answer, you're one of the lucky few to get a quick answer. More often than not, you'll get a pointer to some section of MSDN and well, that's not really an answer, is it?

So that leaves us with the books. The books are often rehashes of the online material, but in the case of Programming WPF this is definitely not the case.

Chris Sells and Ian Griffiths have added quality code samples while welding together an enormous amount of material to make a highly readable and usable book.

WPF and XAML are really very different technologies. If you're comfortable with HTML, XAML is going to drive you crazy at first. If you read through the book, you're going to eventually see how it all folds together and those frustrations will fall to the wayside. The power and potential of WPF is clear once you work through how to layout windows, how to develop controls, and how to still do all of the things you're used to doing in a Windows application.

I highly recommend this book for anyone that's transitioning to WPF and/or Silverlight technologies.

Review:
The definitive WPF title...want to learn WPF, buy it!

In common with Chris Sells' previous book this has quickly become the definitive work on this technology. Ian and Chris have produced a wonderfully readable work (a BIG plus for a book on a technical subject) with the most complere coverage yet seen, which makes this new technology a breeze to learn.
I was going to write a long, rambling review of this book...but it doesn't need it. If you want to learn WPF buy this book...there's nothing else out there which even touches the detail and coverage of this one!

Review:
This is *The* WPF Book for Application Developers

I was lucky enough to be the developmental editor for this book. This review is from that perspective.

First and foremost, this is not a quick and dirty update to the previous edition. Ian and Chris spent a lot of time to produce a thorough update that retains the same tone as the previous version while providing complete coverage of the important WPF 1.0 concepts and bits.

Additionally, the book is easier to read than the previous edition because Chris and Ian also spent significant time on the writing itself.

However, my favorite aspect of the book was how much new stuff about WPF I learned. I'd been a writer on the Microsoft WPF SDK for almost 1.5 years when I did the developmental edit on their book, so I was pretty comfortable with WPF. And, yet, several chapters enhanced my knowledge (of concepts and bits), particularly the data binding and graphics chapters.

I am bias in my review of this book given my role in its development but, irrespective, it's the only WPF book *for application developers* that I'll be using.

Review:
Important material unique to this book

I've read many "how to program with WPF" books, and already have a year of programming experience in WPF, so I'm really not able to fairly review books like this, at least from a beginner's point of view. However, I am confident that there is enough important material unique to this book that it is a must-have for the shelf of a WPF programmer. Despite its girth (835 pages), it isn't able to explain every facet of WPF in detail - in particular, I noticed that the Border class was given very little reference. I was worried that I wouldn't find much of anything I didn't already know, but I was fortunately wrong on that account, and will close the review by summarizing the most interesting bits (to me):

p. 59: You can safely use data binding with Settings.
p. 136: Explains how focus scope affects command routing.
p. 189: Good information on validation, including custom validation.
p. 226: Grouping with PropertyGroupDescription.
p. 298: Handy table of the template parts used by each control.
p. 336: The ValidateBindings method.
p. 341: You can navigate a NavigationWindow to a string.
p. 379: It's dangerous to use types as resource keys.
ch. 12: Great information on resources.
p. 432: Working with bitmaps and bitmap effects.
p. 484: Low-level text output.
ch. 15: Outstanding information on printing.
p. 672: Using attached properties to identify template placeholders.
p. 730: Screenshots demonstrating airspace issues with interop.

Review:
One of the best technical books I've ever read

I've read hundreds of technical books; this is one of the best. Period, and without exaggeration.

Sells and Griffiths combine phenomenal insight into the technology with years of practical application and an extraordinary ability to convey highly technical material in a way that is clear, concise and coherent. I wish I knew as much as they, or wrote as well; and that is not false modesty: they are the gold standard.

The second edition builds on the foundations they laid in the first, but goes well beyond. If you bought the first edition do not hesitate to buy the second; it not only updates the material, but adds at least half again as much new information and greatly expands on the insights they have to offer.

There are other books on WPF well worth owning, but this book is absolutely mandatory. If you have only enough money for one, this is the one. If you can't afford this one, then give up Starbucks and start drinking Dunkin'... 'cause you have to have this one.

On a personal note, Ian has tech-reviewed one of my books, and I can personally attest to the depth and breadth and comprehensiveness of his knowledge. He knows whereof he speaks; and I've yet to find a single instance where his understanding was shallow, let alone wrong. He brings a rigor to his writing that is not marred by pedanticism, and together, he and Chris Sells have managed that most difficult of feats: a two-author book that speaks with a single, clear voice that leaves you with few questions.

This is a six-star book; don't hesitate. In fact, stop reading my silly review and buy the book.
