Looks interesting, but it looks a bit beyond me at this point in time, but good to know that it exists. The only thing too is that it doesen't look like he focuses too much on WPF, though I suppose that they all sort of intermingle at this point.

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.
