Course Overview

If you have never used Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) before, then this course is for you. If you are using Windows Forms (or VB6, FoxPro, or other old desktop technology) you need to start learning how to do declarative programming using XAML and WPF. This 5-day course starts with a new project in Visual Studio and walks you through multiple examples of building a business application.

Learning XAML can be a little daunting, however this course shows you how to get up to speed quickly and easily. You learn most of the basic controls, working with styles, working with the various list controls and data binding. The Model-View-View-Model (MVVM) design pattern is used throughout this course to show you the correct way to build WPF applications. Several examples of business application forms are shown to illustrate many of the concepts learned throughout this course. At the end of this course you have a working application that can be used as a starting point for applications you need to design in your business.
