5.0 out of 5 starsDemonstrates Best Practices, not introductory tutorial.
By William Steinberg on September 2, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book should not be your first book for using XAML with C#. It is definitely not a step by step tutorial either.
What it aims for is to give you best practices for using XAML with C#. It explains how to properly set up MVVM, and why to not use "Code-Behind".

Look at the table of contents. It covers more intermediate and advanced concepts.
Because it is a concise book covering best practices that are hard to find elsewhere, it has earned 5 stars.

If you are looking for your first book on XAML with C#, please purchase this book later.

2.0 out of 5 starsBait and Hook Title?
By joe.public() on July 28, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I am not the type of guy to give one two star ratings at all for books (i generally would do that for hardware) but i must give this book a low score. I am highly disappointed in the book considering i waited months and months for the release of the book. What i was looking for at the very least was a book that took a sample user story or business case and worked it from beginning to end (hence design to deployment), Along the way i expected to explanations as well as tips and tricks for implementing features. Based on the title i was really looking for a line of business (LOB) application with a WPF desktop app and mobile clients. nothing of the sort. This is a basic book not suitable for intermediate or advanced devs. The brief look at MVVM was also even disappointing hence when it talks about design i was looking for much more. Jesse Liberty's book Pro XAML does a better job of covering Windows 8.1 mobile Win Store development. I do appreciate the author's time and effort but this book needs a revision or title change, something that indicates a brief introduction not an in depth look.

1.0 out of 5 starsNot About XAML!
By D. Ziegelmiller on July 5, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book is *NOT* about XAML. It has almost no XAML information, instead devoting to unit testing, program design, and other irrelevant topics. You would be much better off with MacDonald's book on WPF or Hall's book on Pro WPF and Silverlight MVVM. Either book has more about XAML in the first chapter than this does in the entire book.
