or outside a Web browser. The first edition of Windows Presentation Foundation Unleashed was
not only the best selling book on WPF 3.5 but was also commonly acclaimed as the best book on
the subject. It was widely praised for the clarity of the writing the thoroughness of the
coverage the practicality of the examples and the sophistication of its form and style. This
