WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) is a fantastic new UI technology available to the .NET developer, which also appears as a sub set in Silverlight. So you can see that WPF will soon surround every .NET developer.
The biggest issue with a new technology is finding the best resource to learn it, and for those of us with tight IT budgets, the backing to learn it.
The Internet always has resources to allow you to learn these technologies for free and there have been a number of articles on Codeproject, MSDN and Nibbles however these articles and tutorials fall short of providing the complete information from end to end for the beginner.
Microsoft have addressed this shortfall by providing a complete online boot camp. The boot camp was originally run for a number of selected individuals who attended it in Redmond, but as the organisers brought the speaker list together they realised that they had got together the WPF cream. The list of speakers included, among others, Ian Griffith who presented at the Bristol VBUG last year.
The online presentations are structures in the same way as if you had attended the boot camp, opening with a keynote followed by presentations to teach you the entire WPF technology. You can view the videos online, through Silverlight, or download them as WMV.
As an additional bonus you also have two hands on labs to complete at your leisure.
