Review: I like this book - Its big and there is more info in here than a person can digest, but I am nearly half way through and I like this book alot. There are a number of things in the book that make it stand out. Most notably it tells me why not just how. I learn better when I can understand the reasoning behind technology and this book has helped me with that. I will admit that some of the examples aren't "great" but they are adequate and if they were any more elaborate I fear I would miss the point. This book and some stuff on the web has helped me understand WPF better than I ever have.
Review: Extremely comprehensive, if a little dated - CONTENT At this point, I'm 33% of the way through the book (which puts me about 370 pages in). So far, the material is very well written, thorough, and comprehensive. I've only run into one issue where the code example doesn't work (which involved creating a WPF library project [which apparently only exists for .Net CORE now] and adding a reference to the DLL so you can get access to the System.Windows.Interactivity namespace for implementing behaviors...which is because Microsoft has now open-sourced XAML Behaviours and you'll want to get them by downloading a NuGet package as opposed to the method described by the author). FORMATTING Reading the book on Kindle, the only issue I've really run into is the fact that all of the tables in the book are implemented as images. Consequently, the tables do not scale well and the text is often so small that it's nearly impossible to read. You can zoom in on the images, but you'll be constantly panning the image around to be able to read all of the text. Since tables are frequently the way that the author has chosen to present lists of options that are available to you along with explanations of what those options are, taking the time to examine the tables is really a necessity. The presentation, however, makes it a necessary evil.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It will definitely get you started with WPF in no time
*by O***A on October 24, 2013*

In Despite of the fact that WPF hasn't evolved that much since its introduction, I think there is more to be learned about WPF than what this book covers. However, I think the author does a terrific job in describing the concepts and principles of what is fundamentally important to know about WPF: XAML, Layouts, Dependency Properties, Routed Events, Commands, Element and Data Binding, Styles and Templates, etc. The explanations and samples are so clear and concise that you will be tempted to jumping into coding as you read. Uhm, I personally appreciate that this book does not mention MVVM, and that it makes an effort to keep the illustration of the programing model unbiased, leaving the readers mind open for an ocean of possibilities.
