Synopsis

You're a developer who knows nothing to WPF. Which is fine, except that you need to start coding your next application using WPF and the MVVM pattern.

Don't worry: I have you covered. I've been training hundreds of developers like you during 15 years, and converted my experience into this book. I know from experience teaching what takes more time to learn in WPF, and will spend time only where appropriate.

Plus this book is packed with exercises which build up into a full project: you develop a small e-commerce sample application. You'll allow users to browse for products, and you'll also create a back-end where users will be able to list and edit products.

Read this book, and you can code your WPF application within a week.

About this title

From the Inside Flap

What this book is not
I made my best to keep this book small, so that you can learn WPF quickly without getting lost in petty details. If you're looking for a reference book where you'll find answers to all the questions you may have within the next 4 years of your WPF practice, you'll find other heavy books for that.

My purpose is to swiftly provide you with the tools you need to code your first WPF application using the MVVM pattern and be able to look for more by yourself when needed. While some authors seems to pride themselves in having the thickest book, in this series I'm glad I achieved the thinnest possible book for my purpose. Though I tried my best to keep all of what seems necessary, based on my 14 years experience of teaching.

Prerequisites
In order for this book to meet its goals, you must :

• Have basic experience creating an application with C# (any type of application is alright).
• Have working knowledge of Visual Studio.
• Have basic knowledge of XML syntax.
• Have basic knowledge of SQL Server.

How to read this book

This book's aim is to make you productive as quickly as possible. For this we'll use some theory, several demonstrations, plus exercises.
