Windows Presentation Foundation Masterclass
Leverage WPF with C# and XAML to build real world skills with Azure, REST, MVVM and Machine Learning
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 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 on 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:
- Build a calculator as you learn:
- C#
- XAML
- Styles
- Build a contacts app as you learn:
- SQLite
- Using ListViews
- Creating Custom Controls
- Build a machine learning classifier as you learn:
- REST services
- Picking images from the computer
- Build a weather app as you learn:
- The MVVM architectural pattern
- More REST
- Build a notes app as you learn:
- More WPF controls such as toolbar, speech to text, toggle buttons, comboboxes, context menus and rich text format editors
- To add Azure App Services for cloud hosted databases
- To add Azure Storage Account services for storing files in the cloud
- 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!

Pros: Great course! Learned very useful information. Cons: It was sometimes hard to keep up with what was going on in section 11 through 13. The tempo was a bit too high. I ended up having missed to write one line of code due to this. However, it was good that you quickly can access source code to compare with to find the error.

Great beginning, great examples. The only flaw for me was that it steps up from simple examples to complex and difficult examples too sudden, that I got lost towards the end.

Very good course with a lot of useful code and tips from Eduardo. The only thing that is missed is fully covered WeatherApp with the free API (there are changes in code needed that may confuse the beginners). I especially enjoyed the Azure and AI lessons, most of the topics are explained very well. Great thing was to implement solution with SQLite and then move to Azure :) For sure I will book another courses provided by {LP}! Regards, Chris

My opinion about the course: Money well spent. Good Job! Pros: Great Course teaches you allot about WPF to the point you can develop your own Desktop APPs. And the intro in to MVVM concept. Good and understandable tempo and voice by Eduardo Rosas, although he is not a native English speaker (the accent is not an issue at all) his speech is very comprehensible. Cons: I found that a binding in WPF itself is very basic, without diving in in to the binding options or RelativeSource , Ancestry ,Context change, Binding to async tasks* and processes etc. * Although there is a usage and implementation of async functions with WPF during the course, it was very briefly.

Nice steady paced tutorial so far, starting the MVVM Weather App section now, learnt little things and become more familiar with WPF App development. As a hobbyist this feels like a good course for new comers.
