How well do you need to know XAML for WPF? What to read in XAML?

Question

WPF

I myself am not familiar with XAML, I only know that it is a markup language.
Is there enough time in the WPF chapter in Troelsen's book on C# to create a simple desktop application? I am a little familiar with winforms (from the first tutorial in the VS documentation), but later I learned that it is better to start learning WPF than winforms.

WPF is a very good DirectX based tool with a huge future and is not that hard to learn. First you need to understand the basic principle of WPF, namely, it is built on data binding and templates, and the Model-View-ViewModel design pattern is used for logic, understanding which you can build very cool and beautiful applications, otherwise it is similar to winforms. In Troelsen's book, everything is written somehow a little complicated, especially for beginners, so the best resource that they came up with for us peasants is Metanit , very simple and clear, they will tell you absolutely everything there. And the main thing is practice and practice .
