New book: XAML Developer Reference - Microsoft Press - Site Home - MSDN Blogs

Microsoft has announced that the new Microsoft Press book XAML Developer Reference (ISBN 978-0-7356-5896-7, 340 pages), is now available for purchase.

This book covers XAML from the ground up for both Windows Presentation Foundation and Silverlight development—and of course, because XAML is a foundational technology in building Windows 8 applications, learning the information here will be useful for a long time to come.

You’ll discover practical ways to build rich, interactive user interfaces with data integration capabilities and support for multimedia, graphics, and animation. This hands-on guide is ideal for Microsoft .NET developers and web designers alike.

Written by two XAML experts, Mamta Dalal and Ashish Ghoda, this book covers all the basic XAML elements, their properties and event systems, use of templates, positioning, 2D and 3D graphics, markup extensions, data binding, and much more.

The complete Chapter 4, “Markup Extensions and Other Features,” can be read from the link below, for getting a good feel for the level of detail in this book.
