About this course

Do you know a little programming in C# or another language, but are struggling to get an interview, let alone a job? Maybe you are stuck in a low paying programming job, and want to move up to a better, more senior position.Perhaps you want to learn a new skill and expand your rèsumè.Or maybe you want to improve your .NET skills by learning a new and valuable framework.If one or more of these things describe you, then I'd suggest you give serious consideration to this course.This course will teach you how to create applications that have a rich user interface, using Microsoft's Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF).What is WPF ? WPF is part of the .NET framework and  provides a consistent programming model for building applications by separating the user interface from business logic.  It uses XAML (an XML based language) and C#.  The runtime libraries are included with all versions of Microsoft Windows since Windows Vista.  It's heavily supported by Microsoft and is a mature and powerful framework.Why should you bother to learn it?Many, perhaps most enterprise level .NET applications are built in WPF because of it's ability to create loosely coupled apps where the business logic and presentation layer are separated.  This also applies to apps in general that are developed in .NET.  A good portion of Winforms based projects are being upgraded to WPF as well.WPF developers are in high demand and WPF is fully supported by Microsoft in the latest versions of Visual studio and .NET.  It's a key part of Microsoft's strategy moving forward.What will you learn in this course? WPF is developed using C# and XAML.  You will learn how to use WPF to build and access powerful REST services (specifically weather information and machine learning in this course).  You will also learn to create your own cloud services, and learn languages and patterns the open up fut
