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
