WinFX: Beta

I liked this book.

You can tell this book was rushed to press, so there was not the ‘fluff and padding’ that so many books have these days in order to beef up their page counts and bookstore shelf widths. Just crisp, detailed information on the subject(s) at hand. Excellent!

Most of the book is about XAML - the reason I bought the book in the first place. The content was presented in a literate, organized matter and, there being nothing much else to say on the matter. After starting to read (about 1/2 way through) Windows Presentation Foundation by Chris Sells & Jan Grifffiths (also largely about XAML, and also a very good book), I realize that WinFX: Beta was a very nice introduction - but that other, supplemental material is helpful understand the XAML in more depth.
