Training - WPF

Programming with WPF

Developing user interfaces with the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) is the main part of this training/workshop. Good software solutions are characterised by good user interfaces and user guidance. This is exactly what the participants will learn in this training.

They will get a comprehensive overview of existing techniques and contexts. With simple, but also more difficult exercises, the participants put their knowledge into practice. In addition, they learn the shortest ways to reach the goal. At the end of the workshop, they will be able to create programmes on their own and will usually feel a desire for more information.
