Presentation: "Windows Presentation Foundation: The Future of Windows"

Track:   .NET Client Applications

Time: Tuesday 11:00 - 12:00

Location: SAS Suecia

Abstract: Windows Vista introduces Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF, formerly known as Avalon), a new basis for graphics and user interfaces. This new technology, which will also be made available on Windows XP and Windows 2003, represents a fundamental shift from how interactive applications have previously worked in Windows. This session, we show key features of WPF such as XAML, composition, layout, animation, and data binding. Moreover, we will examine the need for WPF, showing both how and why it differs so radically from the classic Win32 approach.
