What is the best online resource for learning WPF?

Question

I'm considering WPF for a project, but I need to get up to speed with it ASAP. What was the best online resource you used to get you started with WPF?

EDIT

Great resources so far. Here's a run down of what we have so far:

MSDN

LearnWPF.com

http://windowsclient.net/getstarted/

A Guided Tour of WPF

Keep them coming!

Answer 1

MSDN is always a good start:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms754130.aspx

Answer 2

I think the tutorials on this site are pretty good :

http://windowsclient.net/getstarted/

There are also couple of white papers listed on the page.

Also there is a blog on WPF which is cool : http://thewpfblog.com/

Answer 3

LearnWPF.com :)

Answer 4

I'd suggest reading Josh Smith -- he's a prolific blogger and CodeProject contributor on both learning and using more advanced features of WPF.

I don't know him, I have just learned a lot from his articles, including a great introductory series, "A Guided Tour of WPF".

Answer 5

I know this does not directly answer your question. But I would start learning WPF by reading a book. The learning curve for WPF is notoriously steep and there's always three or more ways to do something in WPF. I recommend reading a book so that you get a good sense of the WPF fundamentals. After that, I would use the online resources to fill in the gaps and to dig deeper.

WPF Books Recommendations

Anonline resource that I found useful when I first started out doing WPF when I started to work on Family.Show, was Beatriz Costa's blog. Definitely check out her earlier posts from 2006 and 2007.

Answer 6

DNRTV has about 4 screencasts on it. I would warn you that you should probably only use WPF for very small or non critical applications on your first try, because it is a whole new paradigm. If you want a book, Adam Nathan's book is really good.

Answer 7

there was a 3 day WPF code camp put on my IdentityMine earlier this year.. you can download all the videos.. it is probably about 8-10 hours total, and is pretty thorough.. download the ones with filenames ending in '2mb' for the best quality..
