Books about WPF

WPF 4 - Unleashed

In my opinion one of the best books about WPF - now updated to version 4.0. It's printed fully in color, so all code samples have syntax highlighting. It includes all the good explanations and samples of version 3 including new chapters about multitouch, XAML 2009, VSM, improved text rendering, windows 7 shell integration and more.

Application = Code + Markup

"Get the definitive guide to the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), the new client programming interface for the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 and Windows Vista. Award-winning author Charles Petzold teaches you how to combine C# code and the Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) to develop applications for the WPF.". I cannot unterstand how anyone can write a book about a UI technology without a single illustration. If you prefer gray text to colorful images, it might be the book for you.

"I cannot understand how anyone can write a book about a UI technology without a single illustration" , 100% agree!

Christian,

Wonderful effort. Simple, clean and precise. You can probably link these books to Amazon and make yourself paid for referring these books. Just a thought.

Thanks,

Petzold's book is a great one, the first part of the book is only C# code, no XAML until chapter 19 or something. You get to learn the consepts using code, which I find very neat. The thing about no pictures; he has a reason. You should either download the code and run it, or type it in and experiment with it. THAT way you remember and learn so much more than just reading some code, see a screenshot of it, then jump to next section... I've been forced to get out of my sofa many a times.

I would suggest all those to follow Illustrated WPF by D.M.Solis from Apress publication. It sets your basics right. Then you can start dirtying your hands with little peace of mind after understanding the basics.
