Presentation:
Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), previously code-named “Avalon,” is a key component of the .NET Framework 3.0, giving you the power to create richer and more visually compelling applications than ever before. Whether you want to develop traditional user interfaces or integrate 3D graphics, audio/video, animation, dynamic skinning, rich document support, speech recognition, or more, WPF enables you to do so in a seamless, resolution-independent manner. WPF has already shipped and is available to all developers to great cool applications for XP and Vista. In this talk, Adam Nathan will give an intensive and entertaining introduction to WPF.
