Book Club Recap – Spring 2008

“WPF Unleashed” by Adam Nathan is THE definitive starter book for Windows Presentation Foundation. I can’t sing praises for it enough but in summary, IMHO, no one who did not write WPF itself should be writing WPF applications without having read this book.

I was Never Much Good at Hello’s

Windows Presentation Foundation is a major paradigm shift that, frankly, intimidates me. But lately I’ve been digging in around the edges trying to understand what these changes could mean for the future of .NET solution designs.

I finally caved and got myself a copy of VS2008 Beta 2 and am really excited about it. Particularly, I’ve gotten to play with cool new language features in Visual Basic 9.0. Now, I’d move to VB9 for local type inference and object initializers alone but this weekend another feature piqued my interest: XML Literals.
