Downloadable WPF tutorial

Question

Hello,

I'm flying to New Zealand next week and figured that it would be a good chance to learn the basics of WPF. I've been flicking through this tutorial which seems really good but there is a lack of wifi in the stratosphere. Does any one know of a similar, easily downloadable tutorial for WPF or do I need to save all the pages on the website to my laptop one by one :(

Thanks, Patrick

EDIT: The MVVM pattern looks very useful so I would like a tutorial which covers implmenting MVVM in some detail if possible too.

Answer 1

There are a couple of good books on the subject by Apress (I have both sitting on my desk) and they're available to buy as ebooks.

Foundations of WPF and Pro WPF in C# 2008

They might not be the cheapest option, but they are good resources.

Answer 3

A while back, Jaime Rodriguez and Karl Shifflett hosted a WPF training tour. The latest PowerPoint slides and code samples are available here. Plenty of MVVM information is included.

In addition, there are a bunch of WPF Samples on MSDN that you can download.
