Windows Presentation Foundations (WPF) books

I've read most of the WPF books on the market at the moment and like Tim Sneath mentions they all take a different approach.

The Chris Sells and Ian Griffiths book came early in the beta cycle and was a very welcome at the time.

Next Charles Petzold's Microsoft Press book, Applications = Code + Markup took a very different route, with half the book on code and half on markup. For me a book on graphics with no pictures made the content seem quite dry.

I'm currently reading Adam Nathan's Windows Presentation Foundation Unleashed - it's in full colour, loads of tips and pointers throughout the chapters - it's a great read and definately my recommendation.



Also it seems like Chris Anderson has finished his book now, which I'll take a look at when it is out.

# WPF Unleashed is flying off the shelves... even the shelf in my office!

I suppose I should be flattered. It seems that someone swiped my copy of WPF Unleashed out of my office
