Designers start here

If you are responsible for the interaction design (front end) of your team's software and Web applications, and you are interested in WPF, this is the book for you.

With WPF, front and back end seem to be merged more than ever, leaving non-programmers feeling overwhelmed by all of the books out there aimed at programmers. Designers who are more comfortable with XHTML and CSS will feel right at home with this book, as it focuses on XAML, which is comfortingly familiar.

I'd recommend picking up VB or C# (or whatever Object Oriented language your team uses) as you develop your WPF skills, but this book will break down the walls surrounding WPF development, and keep you excited about learning more.

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

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.

Just Ausome!

After previous SVG experience, reading the entire WPF doco on MSDN, & trying all the samples I could find, I did not think there was much left to learn on WPF. This book showed me how wrong I was and how deep & creative WPF is. Kudos to the author. A great resource - buy this 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.
