Tutorial with Jennifer Marsman: 3D Graphics in the Windows Presentation
Foundation
The Windows Presentation Foundation is Microsoft’s
unified presentation platform for Windows. WPF provides an integrated set
of APIs allowing the developer to create 2D and 3D content with ease.
Developers and designers can construct scalable, high-quality content in both
two and three dimensions using WPF’s advanced vector-based rendering
system. In this session, we will discuss how to create 3D graphics in WPF.
Main Session with Drew Robbins: Layouts, Styles and
Templates in Windows Presentation Foundation
Windows Presentation Foundation is Microsoft’s unified
presentation subsystem for Windows, which enables developers and designers to
create visually stunning user experiences. One powerful feature of Windows
Presentation Foundation is the separation of the appearance of controls and the
behavior of controls. In this session, we’ll look at the power of layouts,
styles and templates and how you’ll use them in your applications. We’ll also
look at the underlying concepts that make them work and how you can use them to
compose your own WPF components.
