Applied WPF 4 in Context sets the standard for leveraging the latest
Windows user interface technology in your business applications.
Using this book, you'll learn how to implement world-class WPF solutions
in a real-world line of business applications, developing the code from
the ground up, and understand how to apply best development practices
and related .NET products and technologies to your solution.
You will cover designing and developing the application, testing and
debugging, data access, reporting, and applying styles and themes to
enhance the look of the user interface, all using WPF in a very practical,
eminently useful context. You'll create asynchronous and parallel code,
and learn how to distribute the application's components using Windows
Communication Foundation (WCF). You'll also apply the Model-View-ViewModel
pattern, again in a real-world WPF application.
Elegant and functional WPF applications are easier to create than ever
before with Applied WPF 4 in Context.

testing phase and, finally, how to deploy the application in a production
environment, all using WPF and the latest development environment.
