A User on amazon highly recommends this book

The author does a very good job of covering all the topics mentioned in the table of contents. Examples, code & explanations were in general well defined & explained. In addition, frequent tips, whether exceptions to the rule, alternative approaches or clarification of when to best use, helped to give a complete coverage of a topic.

I have the printed book & did pick up a few errors (eg. a few typos & a duplicate paragraph-p708), however there were not enough to distract me. I wonder if the kindle version has a lot more due to technical conversion issues.

I haven’t tried the downloaded code yet, so I can’t comment on how well they run. If someone has the time to follow the code whilst reading the book, I’m sure they will have a good knowledge base to write WPF applications with confidence.

Recommended for anyone willing to commit to delve into WPF.
