The No.1 WPF Book--Now Updated for WPF 4! Full Color: Code samples
appear as they do in Visual Studio! Thorough, authoritative
coverage, practical examples, clear writing, and full-color
presentation make this one of the most widely acclaimed programming
books of the last decade. Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) is
the recommended technology for creating Windows user interfaces,
giving you the power to create richer and more compelling
applications than you dreamed possible. Whether you want to develop
traditional user interfaces or integrate 3D graphics, audio/video,
animation, dynamic skinning, multi-touch, rich document support,
speech recognition, or more, WPF enables you to do so in a
seamless, resolution-independent manner.
