    Para ser honesto me cuesta un poco el idioma pero creo que el libro me va a servir mucho para aprender esta nueva tecnología de Microsoft. Me gusta la portada de época medieval.

    Es de ayuda para aprender de una manera fácil a programar en los lenguajes distintos que se utilizan en los sistemas Windows Vista.

    I got this book based on the reviews but after getting to Chapter 11 (Data Binding with WPF) the authors completely lost me with their style of writing. The main reason i got the book was to learn not to copy or run their code. Am sure they are both smart guys but they both seem to get lost sometimes trying to explain the concept; my guess is that this has to do with trying to impress that they know so much.

    This is the worse “In Action” book i have read to far.

    Perhaps I’ve been spoiled by the Adam Nathan book. Regardless, this book just doesn’t seem good to me. If you’re willing to barter strong foundational knowledge for pretty effects and gradient brushes then this may be the book for you. If not, then this is the wrong book. The authors do have a conversational tone with plenty of opinions, which is not necessarily a bad thing. The trouble is, you expect a book with opinions to go beyond what seemed to be somewhere between marketing hype and childish enthusiasm. The tone is sort of like, “You can do this, … and uh look!, you can also do this neat little trick. Ohhh, but that feature is something to watch out for.”. Add to that the standard hype and you have “WPF IN ACTION”.

    I gave it 2 stars only because there is a slight possibility that I was spoiled by the Nathan book. Had I not read that book first, perhaps I would think differently. Things have changed since the Nathan book and it is a bit out of date and there are less of those who want to learn purely WPF without silverlight thrown in. However, I think that book provided very well written foundational knowledge and this book seems to try to compete very poorly in the same domain.

    Hastily written and poorly edited computer books have become all too common in the last decade or two. This book started out as a refreshing exception, but the authors appear to have run out of time or patience about halfway through the book.

    After several requests from users on their online forum they did post the source code on their website, however the code you’ll get by following along in the book varies considerably from this.

    I really wanted to like this book, there aren’t a lot of other titles available for this relatively new topic, but I’ve spent too many frustrating hours trying to follow the book from the middle chapters on and getting the code to work. ( As other users on their forum pointed out, when you’re trying to learn a new subject the step-by-step approach is better than simply copying and pasting code.)

    The book is written on very clear and easy to read language. The book contains many detailed samples. I found answers on many my problems. This book must be in your WPF-book library.
