Jump into WPF! …and Become Immediately Effective Topic Jump into WPF! …and Become Immediately Effective Description You’ve seen the beautiful animated user interfaces; you have seen the gratuitous animations; you have seen the 3D. You might not be doing it now, but you will do it eventually. You will be building rich client applications in WPF. It is just a matter of time. This session was designed as an introduction to WPF to get you over that big learning curve that has frustrated many and well on your way to building great applications in WPF. In this session you’ll learn how to use Visual Studio to help build WPF applications, of course. But, also in this session you’ll learn a number of tools you will use to build WPF applications. This is a rare place in the .NET stack where VS doesn’t do it all. In fact, it doesn’t even come close. So, in this session you’ll learn a number of tools you will be using like tools from the Expression Suite and some XAML design, syntax and rendering tools. WPF is manifested in 3 major application platforms (Windows Client, Silverlight & Microsoft Surface) and all will be covered in this session at some level. Level 100 / 200 Track Developer Tools and Technologies Product / Technologies XAML, WPF, Silverlight, Surface, Visual Studio, Expression Suite Target Audience Architect, Developer Audience Key Learning #1 WPF is the next generation of UX technologies: Get developers excited about the capabilities of these Client Technologies and provide guidance on how to get smart on these technologies.
