I finally finished "
Windows Presentation Foundation Unleashed" written by
Adam Nathan. The fact that it took me a little bit longer than planned, was not because of the book. Actually this is one of the better books I've read lately and I'm surprised how big difference it made for me that all code samples was in full-color. This book covers a lot of WPF with chapters on the basic, the controls, layout, styles, templates, data binding, interoperability and of course graphics, animation and other media. I enjoyed Adam's writing style and he has a lot of Tips, Warnings, FAQ and Digging Deeper side bars throughout the book. If you are going to start using WPF or if you're just interested in knowing more about the technology I can recommend you to pick this book as your starting point.
