WPF Guide

A high level guide to understanding and exploring WPF.

The intent of this guide is to provide a high level understanding of Microsoft's WPF.

As a mature technology, there are a decade-and-a-half of resources, how-tos, guides, and projects build on the technology; yet there is one critical, barely encountered theme absent from most documentation: the architecture.

Loosely defined, the "architecture" is the 'why" in "who,what,when,where,why."
