Originally published on my old Charteris blog
Back in April I was asked to put together a training course on Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) for the Charteris team. The course was well received here and it was agreed that after a bit of time I could release it publically. So I am going to make most the course available here. I will post it in parts and I am happy to take questions, clarifications and comments about each part. Each one will include the relevant powerpoint slides and relevant labs, with code to start you off.
