XAML Unleashed

XAML Unleashed
Full Color: Figures and code appear as they do in Visual Studio.

If you want to write Windows apps with XAML, one person can help you more than anyone else: Adam Nathan. He has built a well-deserved reputation as the worldâ€™s #1 expert on putting it to work. Now, heâ€™s written the definitive, practical XAML tutorial and reference: XAML Unleashed.

Nathan answers the questions youâ€™re most likely to ask, walks through the tasks youâ€™re sure to perform, and helps you avoid problems as you use XAML. Youâ€™ll learn how to create effective user interfaces for line-of-business apps, consumer apps, reusable controls, or anything else. These techniques will be invaluable whether youâ€™re creating universal Windows apps or working with Silverlight or WPF.

XAML Unleashed is packed with C# and XAML code examples that are fully color-coded to match their appearance in Visual Studio--the same approach that has made Nathanâ€™s previous Unleashed books so popular.
