Upcoming talk July 8: Intro to WPF

Next week (July 8), I'm presenting an intro to WPF at the Rockville .NET User Group (directions and info at www.rocknug.org). Here's the synopsis of the talk:

Yes, WPF lets you do some cool things with animation, but it is also a platform for building real world applications. This presentation will start in shallow end of WPF basics and then dive deeper into architecture. I will cover the following topics:

  • Why move from WinForms to WPF? Pros vs. (almost no) con's.
  • WPF architecture overview: what to know, what to embrace, etc.
  • Pattern focus: ViewModel
  • WPF vs. Silverlight (strictly from a feature perspective): What advantages and disadvantages are there?
  • Introduction to CompositeWPF (this one goes to 11).

Here's the schedule:

  • 6:30-7:00 - n00b Presentation: Getting Generic by Dean Fiala
  • 7:00-7:30 - Pizza/Announcements
  • 7:30-9:00 - Featured Presentation: WPF (me)
