Developer's Corner / Re: Wanted: Recommendations for learning WPF (with C#)
« Last post by wraith808 on July 21, 2020, 09:53 PM »Are you tied to desktop? That's the only reason I can think of for not using WPF. If it's desktop, I'd definitely recommend it, and look into MVVM- that's what I use for a more reactive interface and to decouple the interface from the logic. It seems like it might be a good thing for your use case.
As far as learning- I'd personally suggest using XAML instead of the visual editor. Just like with other visual editors, the WPF design canvas can create some pretty shitty code. And when you need to do something, you find that it screws with the whole interface.
If you want to start with the visual editor, there are a variety of courses:
https://www.wpftutor...earnWPFin14Days.html
https://www.wpf-tutorial.com/
https://www.guru99.com/wpf-tutorial.html
https://www.tutorial...nt.com/wpf/index.htm
That's just a few of them. Of those, I like wpf-tutorial.com the best. There are better paid ones, but that one does the job. I'd also suggest https://www.c-sharpc...cepts-in-15-minutes/ after that, to reinforce some of the concepts, no matter which one you choose.
If you want to go the XAML route, I'd go with tutorialspoint - https://www.tutorial...t.com/xaml/index.htm
That rolls in all of the concepts for that c-sharpcorner article also, making it an unnecessary read at that point.
One thing to note- all of these are pretty old. Other than the format of visual studio, that shouldn't matter though.
