Which WPF book to choose?

Question

Books

Good day!
Faced with the problem of choosing literature on WPF, I choose between
"WPF: Windows Presentation Foundation in .NET 4.5 ... McDonald M. and " WPF 4. Definitive Guide " Nathan A.
I would like to hear your feedback on these books and recommendations. Thank you for your attention!

Answer 1

There was only McDonald’s book in the office, it has a lot of theory, there are examples that are difficult to use in real life (since WPF without MVVM is practically unviable), so at first I didn’t like it, but later, if we need to implement a complex UI on WPF, we often returned to it, as a reference it is extremely convenient to use it.
And knowledge of the internal mechanisms of WPF helps a lot in debugging - you understand the cause of errors, somewhere the bubble event does not pop up, because it is intercepted inside, somewhere the binding does not work, because there are problems with binding (the binding goes to the property of the object, but the context itself has changed ).

Answer 2

Yes, take it already read something, and do not wait for reviews. You can first familiarize yourself with the "torrent version" if you buy and feel sorry for the money.
I read the first (only for 4.0), I didn’t notice anything particularly bad. (read in English, I don't know about the quality of the translation)

Answer 3

Adam Nathan - The inner workings of WPF, not too detailed, but detailed enough. A very good book. Well, then, definitely something about MVVM.
