Windows Presentation Foundation Masterclass

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 its 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 is 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 future opportunities in Xamarin as well (iOS, Android, and the Universal Windows Platform (UWP).

In addition, in this course, you will learn C#, XAML, the MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) architectural pattern, Azure App and Storage services, and SQLite, and more.

Why enrolling in this course is the best decision you can make.

Other courses focus on isolated examples of what you can do with WPF.  Not this course!  This course guides you through the creation of real-world applications as you learn more and more about WPF. You will:

1. Build a calculator as you learn:
   1. C#
   2. XAML
   3. Styles
2. Build a contacts app as you learn:
   1. SQLite
   2. Using ListViews
   3. Creating Custom Controls
3. Build a machine learning classifier as you learn:
   1. REST services
   2. Picking images from the computer
4. Build a weather app as you learn:
   1. The MVVM architectural pattern
   2. More REST
5. Build a notes app as you learn:
   1. More WPF controls such as a toolbar, speech to text, toggle buttons, combo boxes, context menus, and rich text format editors
   2. To add Azure App Services for cloud-hosted databases
   3. To add Azure Storage Account services for storing files in the cloud
   4. To add Animations

Your instructor, Eduardo Rosas, is a certified Xamarin Mobile Developer who has been building apps with C# and XAML since 2012.

This means you are learning from someone who has all the professional training, skills, and experience you need to teach you how to become proficient with WPF in the fastest possible way.  But all the while being taught the right way to program.

If you are ready to get that first paid programming job or to move up to a more senior programming position, then this course is for you!

After completing this course, you will have the necessary skills to be able to use create your own WPF desktop apps giving you increase career opportunities.

The sooner you sign up for this course, the sooner you will have the skills and knowledge you need to increase your job or consulting opportunities.    Your new job or consulting opportunity awaits!
