Who can take the most advantage of this Course

The course has been designed for developers and application architects with relevant experience in the field. It is a supplementary lesson for those who design graphics in a Microsoft environment.

Prerequisites for WPF

You should know .NET framework (1.1/ 2.0)/ C# or any other .NET language and XML. It would be easier and faster if they knew the problems that these web services have been designed to solve.

The Windows Presentation Foundation is Microsoft’s attempt to give a framework for building graphic rich Windows applications. WPF is part of the .NET framework 3.0 and higher.

It combines application UIs, 2D graphics, 3D graphics, documents and multimedia into one single framework. Its vector based rendering engine uses hardware acceleration making the UI faster, scalable and resolution independent.

WPF has an Extensible Application Mark-up Language (XAML). WPF applications can be created using only code or a combination of code and XAML pages.
