致力于提升研发企业的持续创新能力

Considering that a user interface exposes the underlying system and must satisfy the unpredictable stylistic requirements of its users, it can be the most volatile area of many applications. Developing the user interface of a professional software application is not easy. The Windows Presentation Framework (WPF) integrates the best ideas and research results of the last decades on GUI development. It represents the most advanced up to date framework for GUI development. But WPF has a reputation for a steep learning curve. This workshop will focus at the fundamental WPF concepts (we called it WPF Gene) and help the attendee to build solid understanding of WPF essentials, such as dependency property, routed events, data binding etc.
