Publisher's Synopsis
Building WPF and Silverlight Applications: A Complete Guide gives developers learning about WPF and Silverlight 3 a deep grounding in the techniques required for using WPF and Silverlight in the professional environment. The book emphases the design patterns and n-tier architectural planning that is required to enable applications to stand up to real-world use and abuse by end users. This is critical information for the professional developer but it is very often omitted from training manuals and online articles. The book focuses on two of the most widely used, and widely purchased, technologies with the Microsoft programming environment: Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and Silverlight 3. By dealing with both technologies together the book covers both web and desktop programming and will have a very wide audience appeal.
