Course Benefits

Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) is the next generation platform for creating user interfaces (UIs) with the Microsoft .NET Framework. Using WPF, developers and designers can easily create programs that are dynamic, data-driven and visually appealing. In this course, you program applications that integrate the major components of WPF. You also learn how to target your WPF applications for multiple platforms with Silverlight.

Who Should Attend

.NET and other developers who want to leverage WPF to build modern, visual applications for Windows, Internet Explorer or Silverlight. .NET programming experience at the level of Course 502, "Programming with .NET Introduction", is assumed.
