highly recommended

Excellent, and highly readable

This book is an excellent example of just what a tutorial should be: readable, accessible, and well illustrated. I am deeply jealous of it being 4-color and it is a vivid demonstration of how much a full color book can convey. A great, must- have book

whoa!...read it like a novel

I have been developing Windows software since 1994 and have had my share of good resources and poor resources. This book is amazing! The wording in the book is very similar to someone talking you through the entire WPF platform. Examples are excellent and so is the "Tips" and additional information. The author anticipates the user reactions specifically by seasoned developers and addresses them. I am reading this book like a novel. I am on page 356 and I can't put it down. This is in my top 3 developer books, if not #1. If you have any thoughts on going down the WPF path, start here.

Best book on the market today for WPF

I have used this book for one full project cycle. It was recommended by a company that I was collaborating with for a project and they were right. This book is the state of the art on WPF programming as of this writing. However, there are improvements that could be made. I think the data binding section could be a little stronger. Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone starting an new WPF project.

"Must buy"

This is one of the few technology or programming texts that I've seen which considers the importance of organization and presentation on learning. The writing is extremely competent and the full color text is both pleasing and clarifying to the text. I highly recommend this for anyone looking to get a handle on this rich technology.

This is hard stuff to learn but the author makes it as easy as he can

I am a developer with many years of experience but this is some difficult information to grasp. XAML is complex and many of the concepts are new. You have to be willing to change the way you have been used to doing most things. For example, you have to be willing to use XAML binding rather than the usual method of explicitly hydrating your controls.

The author makes this as understandable as you can make while also covering it in the complete through detail you need for it to be useful in the real world. Yes having it in color does make a difference.
