I didn't know that was a .net book. Interesting; thanks. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of BC Sent: Sunday, January 20, 2013 6:52 PM To: ozDotNet Subject: Re: Xaml basics: where to start?
Hi Katherine, Anything by Charles Petzold would be my recommendation. Charles is the guru when it comes to WPF / XAML. His latest book can be found here: http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0790145369079.do - Programming Windows 6th Edition which covers Windows 8 / XAML etc. HTH, Brenden On 21 January 2013 09:12, Katherine Moss <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hello all, Being blind and all, since most of the more modern interfaces don't really work in Visual Studio with screen readers (the WPF designer is the big one here), I was wondering if you could please point me in the right direction for learning Xaml? I feel that even if I was sighted, I'd still prefer to manually lay out my UI anyway, but I have no other option unless I wanted to seek sighted assistance, which just isn't in the cards for me at all. What would you say is my best start? I have a bunch of books that are dedicated to WPF, so do they touch on it at all? If not, then I'll have to find other resources since most books for beginning C# developers like me don't go into much detail on it, and without a description and what not, then the demos involving WPF are impossible for me to duplicate. Thanks.
