Windows Presentation Foundation courses - WPF

If you're creating a Windows application (other than a website) using Visual Studio, the chances are you'll be choosing between two technologies:

• Windows Forms (WinForms) has been around for some time now: the latest incarnation uses Visual Basic 2010, but will be recognisable in part to VB6 programmers.  WinForms has a wide user base and is a stable development environment.
• WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) is the latest way of writing forms-based applications from Microsoft. Visual Studio 2010 is written using WPF, as is SilverLight.  WPF is better for fancy effects, but has less of a user base for now.

Which technology will take off in the future?  We don't know - although we'd hazard a guess!  Wise Owl train on both - here are the details of our WPF courses.
