Took a quick look at WPF, wrote a hello world program, noted it's lack
of a decent API (for example, no lightning bolt to add Event Handlers,
and every control in WPF does not have as many event handlers as in
Winforms it seems, nor as many extension methods / properties, for
example, in WPF a label has no '.Text' extension method or property,
so you cannot write "label1.Text = ABC".
I also note "Blend (TM)" which is a API/user interface for WPF, just
came out three months ago, further reinforcing that WPF is betaware.
But given that, like a first round draft choice who shows 'great
promise' in theory (Ryan Leaf anybody? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryan_Leaf),
does anybody recommend any decent books on WPF or is it still too
early?
