David Ringsell - An Introduction to Windows Presentation Foundation

Windows Presentation Foundation provides a radically different approach to creating User Interfaces. By employing XAML to design the UI, a much rich user experience can be provided. Sound and video can easily be included. Using XAML as hierarchical and declarative mark-up language allows the creation of much more versatile & exciting screens. This is a big leap forward from the previous way of working with Windows Forms. This talk will employ accelerated learning methods to improve participants understanding and recall. We will use mind-maps and communications exercises to make the talk more fun.

David has worked for over 10 years as a Microsoft technical trainer and senior software developer. He advises software departments on managing the transition to new technologies. Recently he has provided training on the new features of .Net 3.5, including WPF. As a trainer, he has constantly had to learn new stuff and has found accelerated learning very useful. He has also passed 12 MCP exams to become an MCSD & MCPD in .NET. He is a frequent speaker for VBUG and the .NET Developer Network.
