A Guided Tour of WPF « Josh Smith on WPF

Josh Smith has a nice series of introductory WPF articles up on the CodeProject.

The goal of those articles is to bring someone with no WPF experience up-to-speed enough so that (s)he can fully understand how the series’ demo application works. This page serves as a table of contents for that series.

Josh does a great job of breaking things down in a way that beginners/intermediates can understand. The source code is available as well.
Topics include:

  • Part 1 (XAML)
  • Part 2 (Layout)
  • Part 3 (Data binding)
  • Part 4 (Data templates and triggers)
  • Part 5 (Styles)

It’s great to see more and more tutorials popping up on all the time.
