Content:

This lecture introduces Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), a Graphical User Interface technology that replaces WinForms. Its programming model seems, at first, to be similar to the WinForms model, but in fact its technology is a radical departure from all prior Microsoft GUI frameworks.
The WPF programming model is much closer to web presentation technologies, using markup and event handlers.
