The 5-day Windows Presentation Foundation Programming Using C# course provides a thorough introduction to the C# programming language, and then provides students with hands on experience using Visual Studio to create Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) applications. During class, students will learn the basics of XAML and how to use it to describe the appearance and behavior of WPF user interfaces. Other topics covered include data binding, calling of web services, debugging techniques, and deployment. Students are required to have basic experience in another programming language before attending this course.

Students who already understand the fundamentals of the C# language may be better served by enrolling in the shorter 3-day Windows Presentation Foundation Programming for Experienced C# Programmers course.
