1-slide WPF• Do your homework: read Petzold and Nathan’s book.

• Read them again.

• Expression Blend. Not just for Designers!

• F4, Ctrl+0, A, V, and the spacebar.

• Data Binding rules. And ClickOnce (still).

• Styles, Resources, Templates. Think CSS on steroids.

• Converters are the sprintf() of XAML.

• You’ll still need real designers.

• You can’t spell genealogy (think gene-analogy)

• You get one gratuitous animation effect per app.1 February 2007 · Confidential 5
