Summary

This article is a short introduction to WPF - not only using it but a little of how it works and the philosophy behind it.

Excerpt

"If you open a new Windows Application (WPF) project you will discover many of the immediately obvious differences between WPF and Windows Forms. The most obvious is that now there is a new file type called by default Window1.xaml. XAML, eXtensible Application Markup Language – pronounced “zamel”, is a new markup language introduced to allow user interfaces to be defined without the need to program. You can think of it as HTML on steroids but there is also much more to say about it. XAML probably represents the single biggest innovation in WPF."
