Avalon Jan 25 2006

I ordered this book the other day, as I regularly read the blog of Chris Sells, which drew my attention to the book, and I really wanted to push on and learn the latest and greatest way to write good-looking Windows apps. WPF (Avalon) certainly looks like an amazingly powerful framework, and it’s potential is huge. It’s a shame there are a few setup issues where other pre-release versions of .Net are concerned (it itself is still in beta, but the latest WPF CTP requires the final 2.0 framework/sdk etc, and I was running an old beta 2.0 framework and SDK. Even now after much uninstalling, updating, reinstalling, I’m not sure it’s running right. But I’ll get there when I have a bit more time, and when I do, I’ve got the right book to prepare me to use Avalon effectively :-)
