RE: WPF Book Recommendations?

I read someone else's WPF Unleashed last year and thought it was pretty good. I might order my own copy now that I think about it. On the other hand, WROX Professional WPF Programming (2007) stinks and I was most disappointed. There was little to no discussion of how to use the containers and c

Re: WPF Book Recommendations?

Thanks all. I remember reading another 'Unleashed' book years ago (C# Unleashed I think) and it was terrible - felt like I was reading something like the idiots guide to OO programming... Given the recommendations here though I think I'll take a look at WPF Unleashed. I also see that Apress has

Re: WPF Book Recommendations?

Like everyone else. I'm all thumbs up for WPF Unleashed. If you're also into the nitty gritty bits of authoring your own panels and controls etc, have a look at WPF Control Development Unleashed. Also have a look at WPF Essential, although not as much eye candy, but it's not bad as well with some

Re: WPF Book Recommendations?

Not a book recommendation, but an article that reads well - from Red Gate: From WinForm to WPF: A Quick Reference Guide Michael Sorens provides a handy wallchart to help migration between WinForm / WPF, VS 2008 / 2010, and .NET 3.5 /

Re: WPF Book Recommendations?

It's related. Some perfectionists love improving upon their work till it's perfect and completely solid. Take google for example, gmail did sit in beta for ages, since they wanted to perfect it. On Tue, Mar 30, 2010 at 10:30 AM, silky wrote: > On Tue, Mar 30, 2010 at 10:12 AM, Winston Pang > wr

I think perfect is subjective. It may be perfect for one, but may not be perfect to others. On Tue, Mar 30, 2010 at 2:11 PM, DotNet Dude wrote: > Since when is gmail perfect? > > On Tue, Mar 30, 2010 at 10:39 AM, Winston Pang > wrote: > > It's related. Some perfectionists love improving upon th
