Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) is a key component of WinFX, Microsoft's next-generation of APIs for application development on the Windows platform. All developers programming Windows-based apps will need to learn it. WPF gives developers the power to create compelling and low-maintenance Windows or Web applications like they never dreamed they could. Whether they want to integrate 3D graphics, video, speech recognition, animation, rich document support, or more, QPF enables them to do so in a seamless manner. This book covers everything a Windows-based application developer needs to know about Windows Presentation Foundation: how to integrate 3D graphics, video, speech recognition, animation, rich document support, and more. Presented in a practical and approachable manner, brings insights with it that only an insider, author and WinFX team member at Microsoft Adam Nathan, can provide. He doesn't shy away from showing you the limitations of the current version of WPF, but he also shows you how to get past them using third party tools. Loaded with tips, warnings, FAQs, and "digging deeper" sidebars, this book provides unique insights into WPF.
