WPF - Hello World and Beyond
presented by David Makogon
Yes, WPF lets you do some cool things with animation, but it is also platform for building real world applications. This presentation will start in shallow end of WPF basics and then dive deeper to into architecture. It will cover the following topics
- Why move from WinForms to WPF? Pros vs. (almost no) con's.
- WPF architecture overview: what to know, what to embrace, etc.
- Pattern focus: ViewModel
- WPF vs. Silverlight (strictly from a feature perspective): What advantages and disadvantages are there?
- Introduction to CompositeWPF: This one goes to 11.
