Applications = Code + Markup: A Guide to the Microsoft Windows Presentation Foundation

When .NET 3.0 was released I decided to learn WPF and XAML. I read the book Applications = Code + Markup: A Guide to the Microsoft Windows Presentation Foundation by Charles Petzold. Later this book was useful when I was learning Silverlight wich is similar to WPF.

In this book I discovered:
  • Create and enhance controls including menus, toolbars, tree views, and list views
  • Use dynamic layout to automate the positioning of controls and graphics
  • Work with dependency properties and routed input events
  • Use XAML resources, styles, and templates to alter the appearance of your UI
  • Use data binding techniques in XAML to help simplify and streamline your applications
  • Develop visually-stunning UIs with interactive graphics, media, and animation
