I am starting to research Windows Presentation Foundation for a demonstration that I am working on and one of the resources that I was pointed to was the 3 videos that I am linking to below. In addition to that, there are some Virtual Labs, provided by Microsoft, that look promising. After I’ve gone through them, I will post the ones that I think are descent (from my perspective). In the meantime, check out these videos, when you have some time, especially the first one, if you are a beginner on the subject like I am.To All the Editors I’ve Loved Before…
