Mastering Windows Presentation Foundation: Master the art of building modern desktop applications on Windows

This book is great and honestly it may have been a little bit over my head. They dive very deep into the details which can be great for folks who operate on that level. Prior to reading this book I had worked on a few small projects using UWP. After skimming a few tutorials and stumbling my way through some code spaghetti I knew that some more foundation would be a big help. When I realized that I needed to rebuild one of my apps in WPF, I dove into this book. It did help me to understand the basics of what a framework is, how WPF is designed to help, and how WPF can be modified to suit my needs. This book is a heavy read and I'm glad that I have it. I'm sure that its the kind of thing that will be good to revisit every so often as I continue to learn.

This book is very good. As the title suggests, it will definitely help you develop mastery level skills with WPF applications. There is a lot of content to be had, all with plenty of explanation and actual code examples. I recommend downloading the actual the project file from the Packt website to make sure you're understanding things correctly.The physical quality of the book is very good. The text is clear and easy to read. The pages are thick and don't stick together.My only complaint is that for some of the more in-depth chapters, the actual implementation code can increase in complexity very quickly with multiple objects being utilized to achieve the end result. You may find yourself re-reading these chapters more than once (hardly worth taking off a star).

I like the book so far. Need to find out where the code samples are.

I needed a MVVM book and really like how this one is structured. Be aware though that the source code fragments in the Kindle version are not highlighted and lack any beautification. Other than that - this is a great book.

Excellent reference. Well organized, and clearly written, with a very approachable style. Thank you.

This is the book to architect and develop robust and controlled WPF applications. The author throws out great design considerations and ideas from modern design and patterns along the way. If you need to successfully develop complex applications in WPF that others hide from, this is the book for you.I have been away from WPF MVVM development for many years and needed a quick refresh, but using best practices and modern tools (such as .NET Core and modern C# constructs). The integration of modern design concerns into the presentation is great. These ideas were clearly earned the hard way and make this a unique book that is worth the effort to read.It took me a couple of days to work through this book. If you are not fluent with modern architecture and design patterns, expect to spend more time (and side reading). This book is worth the effort.

Du code, du code.......... qui fait plaisir à l'auteur (même si une ou deux techniques sont intéressantes).Ce livre ne servira en rien un développeur désirant comprendre MVVM et structurer son code.Enfin, le livre n'est pas vraiment structuré (hors les idées de 'coding' de l'auteur) : il n'y a pas de cheminement logique pouvant servir un développement de projet.
