POWPF quickstart documentation
text
Body
copied!<p>I am totally new to WPF and looking for good quickstart documentation to start with. I will buy the book WPF Unleashed from Adam Nathan, but thats more a reference than a quickstart i think.<br> I just want you to tell me your favorite links and books and maybe demo applications concerning wpf development. </p> <p>Focus of answers should be on best practices, good readable introductions (i hate the link farms on msdn ;) and comprehensive references.</p> <p>EDIT: I will try to assemble all suggestions in a short list sorted by type. And please try to give a short reason <em>why</em> you suggest especial that link or that book.</p> <p><strong>Books:</strong> </p> <ul> <li><a href="http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/0672328917" rel="nofollow noreferrer">WPF Unleashed by Adam Nathan</a> </li> <li>Pro WPF: Windows Presentation Foundation in .NET 3.0</li> <li><a href="http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/0596510373" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Programming WPF by Chris Sells and Ian Griffiths</a></li> </ul> <p><strong>Blogs:</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.beacosta.com/blog/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Blog about data binding in WPF by Beatriz Costa</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.drwpf.com/blog/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Ask Dr. WPF</a></li> <li><a href="http://joshsmithonwpf.wordpress.com/a-guided-tour-of-wpf/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Guided tour on WPF</a></li> </ul> <p><strong>Links:</strong> </p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.microsoft.com/switzerland/msdn/de/presentationfinder/detail.mspx?id=104056" rel="nofollow noreferrer">MSDN Hands-on Lab</a> from Microsoft about WPF</li> <li><a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms742119.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">msdn on getting started with WPF</a></li> <li><a href="http://windowsclient.net/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">windowsclient.net</a></li> <li><a href="http://learnwpf.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Lernwpf.com</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.codeproject.com/KB/WPF/BeginWPF1.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Series of articles on Codeproject</a></li> <li><a href="http://windowsclient.net/learn/videos_wpf.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Some WPF videos on windowsclient.net</a></li> </ul> <p><strong>Demo Applications:</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.vertigo.com/familyshow.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Family.Show</a> from Vertigo</li> <li><a href="http://www.hanselman.com/babysmash/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Babysmash</a></li> </ul>
